Following the Massmail sent by Chancellor Robert Jones, an organizer of the encampment addressed the crowd of attendees.
According to the organizer, the organizers of the encampment were negotiating with University administration to divest in companies they said funded the war in Gaza.
The organizer claimed that University administrations offered them a meeting to negotiate, but only if protesters took down the tents and structure.
“President Killeen and I offered to meet directly with representatives of the group this evening to discuss their questions and concerns if they would remove the tents and structure,” Jones stated.
The organizer stated that the message sent from the University about the details of the meeting was a lie.
The organizer said they were not leaving the encampment.
