About 80 or so Case Western students dropped"dead" in the middle of the university's bustling Tinkham Veale University Center on Friday morning, as prospective students and their parents were scheduled to attend an open house ceremony nearby.

From their ban to Friday's open house protest, SJP and Case admins haven't come any closer to reaching agreement, activists told Scene before the"die-in." Partly because SJP members believe their apparent flyer-glue charge was made in error in the first place. After more than a half year into fighting between Israel forces and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, conflict that's taken the lives of 34,000 Palestinians, pro-Palestinian protests are close to reaching a zenith in both scope and legal backlash in the month of April.. And in Cleveland, activists calling for sympathy for Gaza have blocked airport traffic, shut down City Council meetings and covered Euclid Avenue and Public Square repeatedly with chants and flag-waving.

Another SJP member, who commented anonymously fearing retaliation from the university, told Scene that Friday's"die-in" echoed the sentiment of SJP's response to its ban, posted on Instagram on March 4.
