Protests at UNC-Chapel Hill have intensified with police having sprayed pepper spray multiple times.

Protesters took down an American flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag. University officials replaced the flags while some students changed 'USA, USA'

Here's what I learned at day two of the encampment at Case Western Reserve University:

• University admin anticipates allowing students, faculty to spend the night again Tuesday
• No deal between student protestors and admin as of now

Today's an important day if you have certain types of student loans ‼️ apply for consolidation and you may be one step closer to getting your loans forgiven.

This is very complicated and I did my best to explain it here!

UNC encampment swept this morning -- indyweek.com/news/orange/un…

Mid-morning check in from Case Western Reserve: It’s a very chill environment right now. Few dozen students in the oval and three police officers by my count. No tents, just umbrellas, barricades still up.

I spent some time in IUPUI's 'Liberated Zone' yesterday, where over a dozen students/community members are camping out to protest the war.

New: At University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University a greater share of faculty work on short-term contracts or as adjuncts. How does that impact teaching, learning and working in Pittsburgh higher ed? PublicSource

“UT-Austin’s heavy-handed response to the protests — and the state GOP leaders’ support of the arrests — are a stark contrast to their vigorous celebration and defense of protected speech in previous years.” A smart one from Sneha Dey: shorturl.at/qyEFN

I just confirmed Molly’s reporting here, too. I’m told undergrad/grad students + faculty can spend the night in the oval - with tents.

They’ll need to show a CWRU ID. That will then get them a wristband allowing them to stay there overnight.

Going back through my camera roll from the day and found this clip of what I think was the first time CWRU police approached folks in a tent.

.Northwestern is also committing to funding the full cost of attendance for 5 Palestinian undergraduates to attend Northwestern and 2 Palestinian visiting faculty per year for 2 years

As the The University of Chicago encampment ramps up, Northwestern President Michael Schill announces an agreement with pro-Palestinian student activists there.

'Gaza, Gaza don't you cry, Palestine will never die!' The crowd has swelled to a hundred or more at the The University of Chicago encampment

Congrats to Colleen Murphy!

I spoke with Carolyn Gentle-Genitty, who will be the first dean of Butler's two-year college. She had a lot of interesting perspective as a first-gen, low-income student as to how higher ed can better support these students!

Amy Morona saw campus police immediately remove demonstrators from encampments.
