Police have begun to clear a Pro-Palestinian tent encampment at George Washington University, hours after dozens of protesters left the site and marched to President Ellen Granberg’s home.
New Insider Deals are perfect for spring and summerA pro-Palestinian protester rests her head on her clasped hands while she stands before University of Chicago police officers while officers kept protesters from the university's quad while the student encampment is dismantled Tuesday, May 7, 2024, in Chicago.
Local media had reported that some protesters were pepper sprayed as police stopped them from entering the encampment and nearly 30 people had been arrested, according to community organizers. “The university remains a place where dissenting voices have many avenues to express themselves, but we cannot enable an environment where the expression of some dominates and disrupts the healthy functioning of the community for the rest,” Alivisatos wrote in a message to the university community.. Among those that have tolerated the tent encampments, some have begun to lose patience and call in police over concerns about disruptions to campus life, safety and the involvement of nonstudents.
The president of Wesleyan University, a liberal arts school in Connecticut, has commended the on-campus demonstration — which includes a pro-Palestinian tent encampment — as an act of political expression. The camp there has grown from about 20 tents a week ago to more than 100.
