A Massachusetts university is urging its students to end a pro-Palestinian encampment protest “peacefully and voluntarily” so the school can prepare for the start of the upcoming semester.
Tufts University students erected a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” protest on April 7 in the academic quad and have occupied the area since. Protesters are demanding that the school end its association with any business that has ties to Israel and issue a statement condemning the war in Gaza.
According to an April 28 open letter from Tufts University leaders, including university president Sunil Kumar, the school is now asking the protesters to cease their activities and allow normal university life to return in time for the start of the semester.
In the letter, the Tufts leadership claims they have tried to be accommodating and that they respect “our community members’ right to advocate for their beliefs.”
“But now the encampment must end, ideally peacefully and voluntarily, so we can prepare the campus for Commencement,” the letter reads.
