UW-Madison leaders have agreed to another meeting with campus protesters.
A school spokesman said that yesterday’s meeting was productive, and said they’ve agreed to meet again. Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin said earlier this week that she’d be willing to meet with protest organizers to talk about their demands, but only after they removed their tents. The university ordered police to do that on Wednesday. Mnookin reportedly told protest leaders yesterday that she has no plans to do that again. The protesters have said they want the University of Wisconsin to divest from Israel, and they want a ceasefire in the war in Gaza.
