Protesters want stanford to first disclose its investments related to any corporations profiting from the conflict in gaza, and then to divest. The ceasefire call is definitely a part of it, right . But like, i think we understand that within our very local context of being Stanford University students, we can probably leverage the most effort towards making a cease fire happen by like building on this huge pile of pressure, right, of which divestment and that kind of Company Pressure is a very clear part of that picture. On friday, stanford released this statement. While stanford understands students perspectives on an important global issue, violations of University Policy will not be overlooked. The submission of student names to the office of Community Standards student conduct process has begun in the University Also sent a message to the full com

The dow gaining 220 point, the s p 500 up close to 61, and the nasdaq surging ahead 330 right now. Its heading for its best day since february. Its really boosted in particular by big tech earnings.
