An agreement between anti-war protesters and Northwestern University has largely ended demonstrations on the suburban Chicago campus
Tents, flags and other supplies remain at Deering Meadow on Northwestern University's campus in Evanston, Ill. on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, a day after the university and protest organizers announced an agreement which largely ended anti-war demonstrations that have lasted days. For five days, Northwestern University's Deering Meadow rang with the shouts of student protesters and supporters joining demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses nationwide.
The harsh response and escalated protests elsewhere Tuesday suggest that the agreement at Northwestern is unlikely to spur similar deals, even if it quickly stalled protest activity in Evanston. The American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League Midwest were among critics of the Northwestern administrators, arguing that the deal “succumbed to the demands of a mob” and did little to make Jewish students on campus feel more secure.
But the organizers seemed to anticipate disappointment, and said they view the deal as just a beginning and that they'll continue to pressure administrators. She said organizers on each campus have to make their own decisions when negotiating with administrators, not follow an exact model created by another school.
