Nearly 70 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested outside the Art Institute of Chicago on Saturday as anti-Israel protests continue to expand in the nation’s big cities.
According to Art Institute administrators, officials tried to work with the protesting students to set up their tents in a location other than the north garden, but protest leaders, some of whom were not students at the school, refused to engage in discussions. Officials even noted that they offered dispensation for the protesters and would have shielded them from any disciplinary measures if they worked with school administrators to hold their protest in a more suitable place.
The Chicago Police Department also claimed to have tried talking with the protesters, but after two hours of failed negotiations, and three warnings, the police gave up and moved in to clear them.
