CHICAGO — Police started removing the pro-Palestinian encampment at DePaul University Thursday morning. In a statement to university students and staff, President Robert Manuel said University Public Safety and Chicago Police started disassembling the encampment. Manuel said efforts to reach a 'shared resolution' with the DePaul Divestment Coalition were unsuccessful.
' Anyone who tries to breach the fence around the quad or any of the green spaces on the Lincoln Park Campus will be trespassed, arrested, and suspended,' President Manuel said in the written statement. 'DePaul will continue to investigate every reported complaint of harassment or discrimination that we receive resulting from the encampment or subsequent events.'The encampment had been in place since April 30, as protesters demanded the school cut ties with Israel.
