Protest,Grades,Professors

Protesters have demanded the university divest from companies perceived as helping Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists.

CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 1: A barricade protects the American flag at Polk Place at the University of North Carolina on May 1, 2024 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill threatened punishment Monday for professors who are withholding grades as part of a protest against the school’s investments.

The provost's office will support sanctions for any instructor who is found to have improperly withheld grades, but is our hope we can resolve this matter amicably and without harm to students,” the office told deans and department chairs. “Excellence in the classroom and in research are a credit to the institution and a vital service to the students and people of North Carolina,” the provost’s office wrote. “It would be a disservice to all of you and to the institution if a minority of instructors were to damage the trust we hold with our students by withholding grades.”UNC students have set up encampments to pressure the university into disclosing its investments.
