"Our demands are to disclose the university endowment, to divest from Israeli, and defend voices of pro-Palestine voices on campus," explained Herndon."Failure to disband the encampment immediately and to adhere to Penn's policies will result in sanctions consistent with our due process procedures as they apply to students, faculty, and staff," expressed Interim President J. Larry Jameson in a letter to the community.
It goes on to mention the encampment itself violates the university's facilities policies and certain actions by some protestors violate Penn's open expression guidelines as well as state and federal law. Over the last 24 hours, we have closely monitored the protest that evolved into an encampment on College Green. We have vigilantly supported the rights of our community members to protest peacefully. Representatives from Open Expression, University Life, and faculty leadership have engaged with some of the protestors, with limited access to the broader group.
The vandalism of the statue in front of College Hall with antisemitic graffiti was especially reprehensible and will be investigated as a hate crime.
