Brown University "conceded" to student protesters who have been encamped for days on the Providence, Rhode Island, campus in violation of policy, acquiescing to hold a vote in the fall on their proposal that the school divest from Israel i interests.
"Brown administration has conceded to students' demand that the Corporation vote on divestment after years of tireless pressure from the student body, 61 student arrests, an eight day hunger strike and seven days of encampment," the BDC said in a post on X."condone the encampment, which was in violation of University policies," but chose to negotiate with protesters rather than remove them.
Five BDC activists will be able to "bring a divestment proposal" to the Corporation of Brown University meeting next month and the board will vote on the proposal in October.
