University of Chicago prepares to ‘intervene’ to remove pro-Palestine encampment from campus
CHICAGO — The University of Chicago announced it was prepared to “intervene” to remove the pro-Palestine encampment from the school’s Main Quadrangle, president Paul Alivisatos said Friday, claiming student protestors have created a “systemic disruption” on campus.
Meanwhile, tensions heightened Friday afternoon when a group of fraternity brothers marched to the encampment carrying American flags, chanting “USA, USA!” as Muslim students gathered for prayers. A line of cops formed between the groups, sources at campus said. The university asked people to avoid the main quad, saying there were reports of physical altercations.
