With commencement ceremonies looming, a pro-Palestinian encampment on the University of San Francisco defied a deadline to leave Tuesday.

SAN FRANCISCO – 'We ask and request and demand that USF disclose all Israeli partnerships and affiliations, endowments and investments with the Israeli occupation,' explained USF Sophomore Nora Makram.The list of demands from encamped protesters at the University of San Francisco is not unlike those at other schools. And like many other encampments, this one has run into a deadline. The administration had asked that the tents be dismantled by 3 p.m.

'In a statement the school says it has no plans to forcibly remove the protest, but it has also informed students that being here beyond 3 o'clock, could result in possible violations of the USF Student Code of Conduct.'But these student conduct policies are vague,' Makram said. 'They're vague for a reason, and it's to scare students, to scare any demonstrators or protesters to think that any action they take will be reprimanded with consequences.
