A coalition of eight student organizations at DePaul issued a list of demands, including that DePaul 'divest from companies that advance Palestinian suffering and profit off the occupation' of Gaza.

CHICAGO -- Students at DePaul University on Tuesday set up tents on the quad of the Lincoln Park campus, demanding the school cut ties with Israel, joining the growing number of college protests in support of Palestinians amid the war in Gaza.Organizers said about 150 people were taking part in the protest, which began Tuesday morning. Similar tent encampments also have been set up in recent days at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago.

''While tents and unpermitted structures on DePaul's property violate a variety of university policies, we invite the members of our university community who are protesting to discuss with us how to peacefully express themselves,' DePaul officials said in a letter to faculty, staff, and students.
