Pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Chicago have made several demands, including defunding the campus police and reparations. The encampment, known as the “U Chicago Popular University of Gaza,” presented these demands during a rally, where they called for divesting from Israel and other “forces of death and violence” like fossil fuel production. The protesters also demanded transparency regarding the university’s investments and called for reparations for harm caused in Palestine and beyond. Similar pro-Palestinian encampments and protests have appeared on college campuses nationwide, with demands ranging from divesting from Israeli companies to calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
