Up to 60 tents were estimated to be at the site Friday. By Monday, that estimate grew to about 150, Matt Kovac, protest media liaison, confirmed.
Pro-Palestinian protesters gather in front of Sproul Hall during a planned protest at UC Berkeley in Berkeley, Calif., on Monday, April 22, 2024. BERKELEY — The number of tents pitched at a pro-Palestine encampment at UC Berkeley more than doubled over the weekend, but university officials say they’re not changing their approach.
When the demonstration first began, UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof said the university was prioritizing students’ academics over disruptions and had no plans to change its investment policies and practices. By this Monday, Mogulof said the university has “no updates” and “no change in our approach, objectives, or priorities.”
UC Berkeley protestors were prepared to meet a similar fate, Afaneh said. Instead, gatherers have continued to hold daily programming including poetry readings and question and answer sessions with professors, without receiving much if any attention from administrators.
