Pro-Palestine protestors remain on University of Pennsylvania's campus with encampments set up, despite the university's letter to disband, saying the protest on campus goes against university policies.
The usual day-to-day operations at UPenn remain business as usual, except for a large pro-Palestinian encampment in the middle of the campus, with student protestors demanding the University make changes. "Our demands are the same as they were on the first day, to disclose the endowment of the University, to divest from the Israeli Apartheid state and to defend the voices of Pro-Palestinian students on campus," says one of the protest organizers.
In the letter it says the protest on campus does go against university policies.The University released a statement Sunday stating in part: "After many efforts to engage the protesters, the Interim President and Provost met with several student and faculty protestors Saturday night to hear their concerns. They reiterated to the protestors the importance of complying with Penn's policies, which are designed to support open expression, while ensuring the safety of all on our campus.
