Pro-Palestinian protesters have cleared out after days of Drexel University’s president calling for them to disband their encampment.
"While Drexel University is committed to protecting the right of its community members to assemble peacefully and express their views, I have the responsibility and authority to regulate campus gatherings in order to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being and to fulfill our mission to educate our students," Drexel President John Fry said.The peaceful end to the encampment came after days of Drexel's president calling for the protesters to leave.
"An unauthorized encampment that involves large numbers of people unaffiliated with Drexel trespassing on our campus is illegal. The language and chants coming from this demonstration, underscored by protestors’ repugnant 'demands,' must now come to an end. Moreover, our Public Safety personnel have been diverted from their work to serve and protect our entire Drexel community. That is unacceptable.
