In a letter to Yale President Peter Salovey, a group of 12 students threatened to go on a hunger strike if the University does not announce divestment by the morning of Friday, April 12.
The town hall called for divestment from military weapons manufacturing and reinvestment into the New Haven community and Yale student life on Wednesday.
The protest, which saw over 200 attendees from over 25 organizations across Yale’s schools and New Haven on Feb. 16, moved from Beinecke Plaza to in front of the Humanities Quadrangle, where Yale Corporation trustees held a private meeting.
