Spreading protests shifted students from campus politics to general political conflict.

Evidence

After the protests had spread throughout the universities in the Federal Republic, general political activity began to take precedence over purely university politics during the winter of 1967-8 and the spring of 1968. To student activists, the universities appeared more and more to be both a base and a theatre for general political conflict. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 659
