some not satisfied as Northwestern strikes deal with pro-Palestinian protesters
CHICAGO — Northwestern University said Monday that it struck a deal with pro-Palestinian protesters on campus, but not everyone is satisfied.The university said it would bring demonstrations 'into compliance' with university policies, but some were unsatisfied with the latest developments. Northwestern said it reached this agreement with a group of students and faculty representing most of the protestors to keep violence seen elsewhere from seeping into their campus.
Part of the sweeping agreement calls for re-launching a student/faculty advisory committee on university investments.One of the key demands from protesters is that the university 'divest from corporations that profit from Israel's occupation in Palestine.'The school agreed that those on campus with questions about specific financial holdings could ask about them and get an answer within 30 days.
