Protesters, DePaul University reach stalemate, demonstrators say
CHICAGO -- Student protesters at DePaul University say they have reached a stalemate with university leaders. 'As a student at an institution guided by Vincentian principles, it is incredibly troubling that DePaul University has not spoken out on the current genocide in Gaza,' said one protester. 'Let me make one thing clear: I will be here with these students until DePaul divests. We are not going anyway,' said another. Protesters and their supporters, including Ald.
Byron Sigcho-Lopez, gathered at the university Saturday. For almost two weeks, students have urged the university to divest from institutions and businesses that support Israel. After meeting Friday night, organizers say they have not reached an agreement. They now fear the university will remove the encampment.
