University of Chicago United for Palestine protesters clash with counterprotesters
CHICAGO -- University of Chicago police officers separated protesters who are part of the UChicago United for Palestine encampment and a group of counter-protesters after the two groups clashed on the Main Quad of the Hyde Park campus Friday afternoon. The encampment has been in place at the U of C since Monday. It was first set up on the Main Quad just north of Swift Hall and has been growing ever since.
Our students have issued a torrent of reports of disrupted classroom learning,' Alivisatos wrote. 'Other disruptions include repeated destruction of an approved installation of Israeli flags, shouting down speakers they disagree with, vandalism and graffiti on historic buildings, incorporating walkways into the encampment, and co-opting the University flagpole to fly the Palestinian flag.
