A group of people were packed in a room in Nelson Hall Thursday. It was the fourth day activists protesting the war in Gaza had occupied buildings at Cal Poly Humboldt and now, two administrators were meeting with a group inside. Since Monday, the entire campus has been shut down by the administration as a result of the protests.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, college students across the country protested and demanded their colleges divest from companies that were doing business with South Africa due to ongoing apartheid. This concern led to the creation of the Sullivan Principles, which were aimed at governing American companies’ investments and operations in South Africa.
