As a graduate of the U of C, I previously thought they regarded students opinions and concerns. Students have been asking for months for the university to publically disclose their investments and divest from companies supporting the genocide in Gaza as students don’t want their tuition money funding death. Yesterday the students set up a peaceful encampment and protest to pressure the university to disclose this information, the U of C didn’t try to negotiate or discuss with students. Within 12 hours they sent in police in riot geat to assault their own students. Absolutely shameful, disrespectful to the students concerns and shows a university that doesn’t care about its students wellbeing, or the wellbeing of other people.
