Pro-Palestinian tent encampment comes to University of Chicago
CHICAGO -- Students at the University of Chicago became the latest Monday to set up a tenant encampment on their campus as they protest in support of pro-Palestinian causes. The encampment was set up on the Main Quad – centered north of just Swift Hall. The students joined a nationwide movement calling for immediate divestment from countries profiting from Israel i business amid the war in Gaza.
Given the importance of the expressive rights of our students, we may allow an encampment to remain for a short time despite the obvious violations of policy—but those violating university policy should expect to face disciplinary consequences.' Alivisatos wrote that the impact of an encampment is dependent on how disruptive it becomes.
