There were no bullhorns nor speeches. It was just food, music and camaraderie. Organizers say the goal of this protest is very focused. 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 community saying that the overnight tents are a safety and security issue and they are a clear violation of University Policy at usc. In los angeles, campus leaders have taken a different approach and called in the police to break up protests. And now administrators have announced that University Wide graduation ceremonies have been canceled. I was disheartened, obviously it has been a possibility for a few weeks given uscs decision to pull our valedictorian speech. Weve known that it it might happen for a few weeks, as there is definitely some turmoil on campus. Mira popli is a usc senior who is from pleasanton. While she is holding out hope some sort of smaller degree level ceremonies will still occur, uscs decision means she could miss her second graduation ceremony. I was crestfallen because this is a culmination of the four years at usc. Weve worked so hard for this and for four years this has been our our shot at redemption. Were finally going to get to walk because none of us got to walk in 2020, when we graduated during covid into not have, you know, the final moment of, you know, the moment in sun for the kids. I feel terrible for them. And back to a live picture here at stanford. Now students are not saying definitively if they plan to keep their tents up for a second night, which would be a violation of university policies. We have seen campus Public Safety officers watching over this protest from a distance. So far, there has been no interaction between those Public Safety officers and the protesters here.

S, as University Students from columbia, ut, austin, emory, gw and more raised their voices and set up encampments to protest israels war in gaza. The protesters are calling for a cease fire in gaza and are demanding their universities cut any financial ties to businesses that are profiting from the conflict. But for some jewish students, the rhetoric is concerning and they fear for their safety. What these people are doing here is standing up for justice. I havent heard any antisemitism from them, but do you feel that its threatening when you call for an intifada revolution . Youre calling for the mass death of jews, the mass murder of jews. Youre coming to my university and youre going to tell me that youre not threatening me. College president s are trying to balance free speech while also ensuring the safety of their students. Honestly, the university has done everything they can to be able to stop these protests or to be able to defend the jewish students on this campus, but theres only so much that they can do. We are able to exist here and live and learn and commune and protest together, palestinians are not able to do that. As the protests continue, theyre starting to have an effect on the end of the school year. Gw had to relocate its law school final exams, and the university of Southern California canceled its main commencement. Protests have spilled over outside campus because George Washington university is one of several College Campuses that is in its safety mode right now, meaning only students and faculty with id cards can get on campus.

Ktvu is christian captain live in the city at one of those intersections where officers will be watching closely for speeders, christian. Yeah. Hi. We are at the intersection of geary and divisadero, and this is one of those intersections that has all the hallmarks for speeding. It has multiple lanes east and west bound. It has a light that drivers sometimes feel they need to race to try to get here. And you can see it has crosswalks going on in each direction. So that is why this is one of those intersections that the city says its now going to be focusing on , to make sure that it tries to stop as many speeders as possible. Some intersections in San Francisco are notorious for speeding vehicles, including mission and ninth street. People living in the area say pedestrians have to pay close attention when crossing.
