Protesters packed up and left a pro-Palestinian encampment at Philadelphia’s Drexel University after the school announced a decision to have police clear the encampment.

A lone star tick can give you a disease that makes you allergic to meat. Know how to spot it before it bites.Pro-Palestinian protesters with tents occupy a quad at Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Tuesday, May 21, 2024. An encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters at Philadelphias Drexel University persisted despite an earlier threat by the schools president to have it cleared.

“An unauthorized encampment that involves large numbers of people unaffiliated with Drexel trespassing on our campus is illegal,” Fry said. “The language and chants coming from this demonstration, underscored by protestors’ repugnant ‘demands,’ must now come to an end.” “The campers picked up their belongings for the most part and left by their own free will,” Philadelphia Police Sgt. Eric Gripp said.

In his statement early Thursday, Fry said previous requests for protesters to disperse had been ignored, but he was asking Drexel affiliates to leave the encampment so police could “escort any remaining trespassers off our campus.”
