A pro-Palestine tent encampment that overtook part of Drexel University's campus peacefully disbanded early Thursday morning. Protesters willingly collected their belongings and took down tents to signal an end to the encampment on the school’s Korman Quad.Drexel President John Fry repeatedly told protesters to leave, saying the encampment was a threat to campus safety.
"The language and chants coming from this demonstration, underscored by protestors’ repugnant "demands," must now come to an end."No arrests were immediately reported at Drexel. This comes nearly two weeks after Philadelphia police arrested over two dozen protesters while dismantling the tent encampment that occupied part of UPenn's campus.
