Case Western Reserve University Bars Some Pro-Palestine Student Protesters From Graduation, Campus

The university's Office of Student Conduct sent notices to more than a dozen involved in the recent Gaza Solidarity EncampmentLast Friday, after a week and a half of operating a tiny tent village in front of Case Western's Kelvin Smith Library on campus, pro-Palestine protesters announced that they would be dissolving the Gaza Solidarity Encampment they created.

Those receiving notices were issued an interim ban from campus and all campus activities, and graduating seniors would have their degrees withheld, pending the outcome of the investigation. Like many of the protests and encampments that have popped up on college campuses in the past month, the protesters at Case had used their sudden tent village—with its First Aid tent and own library—to attempt pressure CWRU into divesting its financial stakes in Israeli companies. Kaler hit back on May 8 with a foot-down measure:"Divestment is and remains something the university will not do," he wrote.

“Failure to adhere to this notice will be considered an additional code of conduct violation and may result in further conduct charges and sanctions," the email read.
