An agreement between anti-war protesters and Northwestern University has largely ended demonstrations on the suburban Chicago campus.

Tents, flags and other supplies remain at Deering Meadow on Northwestern University's campus in Evanston, Ill. on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, a day after the university and protest organizers announced an agreement which largely ended anti-war demonstrations that have lasted days.

Northwestern's statement said it would enforce the deal, which includes possible penalties for students who did not comply, like suspension. University representatives did not immediately reply Tuesday to messages seeking more information on the advisory committee's role or the history of a similar body at Northwestern. The agreement said it would include students, faculty and staff.

Eden Melles, a graduate student among the Northwestern protest organizers, said Tuesday that reestablishing an advisory committee is “huge" but she also understands criticism of the agreement. Administrators and student organizers of the protest on the campus in Providence, Rhode Island said President Christina Paxson had committed to an October vote by the school's governing board on the students' divestment proposal. Protest organizers said they would end demonstrations by late Tuesday.a crackdown on a Columbia University
