Student demands have been met with silence as the protest enters its second week.
Pro-Palestinian protesters gather in front of Sproul Hall during a planned protest at UC Berkeley in Berkeley, Calif., on Monday, April 22, 2024. BERKELEY — The number of tents at a pro-Palestinian encampment at UC Berkeley more than doubled over the weekend, but university officials say they’re not changing their approach.
When the demonstration began, UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof said the university was prioritizing students’ academics over disruptions and had no plans to change its investment policies and practices. By this Monday, Mogulof said the university has “no updates” and “no change in our approach, objectives, or priorities.”
UC Berkeley protesters were prepared to meet a similar fate, Afaneh said. Instead, gatherers have continued to hold daily programming including poetry readings and question-and-answer sessions with professors, without receiving much if any attention from administrators.UCLA faculty walk out as pro-Palestinian demonstrations, counterprotests grow across California campuses
