Here’s a crazy idea. How about going to classes and studying instead of protesting? Have they even considered that?
NBC News in Connecticut reports:
UConn student group calls on university officials to meet after updating protest policiesDozens of UConn students had a clear message for school leaders on Monday.“Meet with us, meet with us,” students chanted outside of Gulley Hall.The student organization, UConnDivest, is asking the president’s office to meet in-person to discuss the new updates to the university’s protesting policies. Some of the changes include limiting amplified sound.“We are doing our best to stay within the rules, but we are not exactly sure because these rules seem to apply differently to different groups,” Josie Raza, of UConnDivest, said.The changes came after there were several pro-Palestinian protests on campus last year. In one case, several students were arrested following an encampment.“The majority of people, the UConn community, doesn’t want students to be violently arrested for disagreeing with something the university does,” Raza said.For months, the student group has called on UConn to disclose and divest certain school-related investments.The group believes the new protesting policies aren’t clear. Raza said she is frustrated by the lack of communication between school leaders and students.“It’s really disheartening to just see the lack of care that the university seems to have in its students’ ability to speak on campus,” Raza said.
