Students called on the university to divest from companies supporting Israel’s military action in Gaza
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators pitch tents at Stanford University’s White Plaza during a protest urging the university to divest from Israel and demanding a permanent cease-fire in the war in Gaza, on Thursday, April 25, 2024, at Stanford University. Stanford students who set up a pro-Palestinian protest encampment in White Plaza remained there overnight, despite warnings from university administrators on Friday that they could face suspension or even arrest.
So far, Stanford administrators have not said whether the university’s endowment is invested in companies directly linked to Israel. Ahead of the planned protest, Interim Vice Provost for Student Affairs C. Matthew Snipp warned students that overnight camping or use of tents, or other campus disruptions “will result in referrals to the Office of Community Standards student conduct process and could also result in arrest if laws are violated.”
Students sleeping at the encampment overnight woke to police officers circling around the site, asking for identification. Organizers say that some student protesters have also received personal warning letters from the administration.
