Drexel University’s president is calling for an end to the encampment of pro-Palestine protesters that gathered on the campus Saturday.In a notice to the Drexel community, President John Fry provided more details about the university's response to the encampment – which formed just hours after 19 protesters were arrested at the nearby University of Pennsylvania.
To be clear, however, this encampment must end," Fry said. "I want to remind Drexel students who are participating in this protest that they could face disciplinary action for violating our Student Code of Conduct. Encampment participants who are unaffiliated with Drexel are unlawfully trespassing."The protesters call themselves the Drexel Palestine Coalition and have a long list of demands for the university.
