Northwestern University in Illinois and Brown University in Rhode Island both reached a deal with pro-Palestine protesters this week to end their occupation of campus grounds. As part of a bargain made by NU and the Northwestern Divestment Coalition, a group helping to organize the protests and encampment, the university agreed to permit protests and pro-Palestine gatherings through the final day of spring classes on June 1. The school has also agreed to disclose its investments in businesses with Israeli ties. In exchange, the NDC has agreed to leave just one aid tent on the lawn. On Tuesday, another deal was reached between Brown University and the Brown Divest Coalition, a similar pro-Palestine group. Protesters involved with the coalition agreed to remove all tents and end the encampment on campus in exchange for a promise from the university to hold a board vote in October on whether or not to divest from Israel-linked companies.

When institutions handle things in an adult manner it really highlight how ridiculous it is when others call in riot cops to terrorize and beat people for exercising constitutionally protected rights.

I was at Northwesterns campus this past week/end for the most part NU's protest looked more like kids having a party, with a small group of students and outside parties that were more pure protesters. most of the signs were pretty neutral, and a smaller percentage bordering on the hateful to the very hateful. All in all comparing the reports out of other schools, I think Northwesterns is a notch below in the intensity.
