(Sacramento, CA) — Sacramento State University will allow an on-campus pro-Palestinian protest encampment to continue as long as it remains peaceful. The university initially said it would allow the encampment to remain in place until today at midnight. On Tuesday night, as the deadline approached, Sacramento State officials announced they would allow the encampment to stay in place. But, it must stay peaceful and follow the University’s time, place and manner policy on speech and speech-related activities.
The protesters, led by the group Students for Justice in Palestine, say they plan to stay until their demands are met. That includes the California State University Board of Trustees divesting from Israel.
