ByUC Riverside Chancellor Kim Wilcox announced a formal agreement between the university and Students for Justice in Palestine containing concessions that led to the promise of a peaceful end to the "solidarity encampment'' to protest Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.
The UCR chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine included in its demands at the outset of the encampment a withdrawal of any funding "in weapons manufactures and the Israeli genocidal machine.'' A task force composed of students and faculty will present a report on the matter to the UCR Board of Trustees next winter. UCR said its School of Business has now discontinued "Global Programs'' in Israel, as well as other countries.
The close of the UCR encampment was in marked contrast to events at UCLA, where riot gear-clad police stormed the grounds to forcibly arrest and eject student protesters Thursday.GOP lawmakers call for revocation of financial aid for student protesters who commit violence
