April 30 Brown University and pro-Palestinian protesters behind an encampment erected on the school’s campus reached an agreement Tuesday to disband the demonstration.
Under the agreement, the encampment established April 24 on the College Green of Brown University in Providence, R.I., was to be dismantled by 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday. The protesters, known as the Brown Divest Coalition, have agreed that it will not resume any encampment activity or unauthorized protest this academic year, including commencement and Reunion Weekend.
In turn, the Corporation of Brown University commits to invite five coalition leaders to a May meeting to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from companies it accuses of „enabling and profiting from genocide in Gaza.
