Israel-Hamas War

Drexel University's campus remains on lockdown Monday, May 20, 2024, as all learning is held virtually as a Pro-Palestinian encampment remains in place.

Pro-Palestinian protesters have ignored a request by Drexel University ’s president to disband their encampment.

In a statement issued a day earlier, Drexel President John Fry said as many as 60 protesters were at the encampment, lambasting it as “intolerably disruptive to normal university operations." He said there were"serious concerns about the conduct of some participants, including distressing reports and images of protestors subjecting passersby to antisemitic speech, signs and chants.” Fry threatened disciplinary action against Drexel students participating in the protest.

As part of the agreement, Wesleyan protesters cleared their encampment on Monday, according to a school spokesperson.
