University of Chicago prepares to “intervene” to remove pro-Palestine encampment from campus

The University of Chicago is preparing to “intervene” to remove the pro-Palestine encampment from the school’s Main Quadrangle, president Paul Alivisatos said Friday, claiming student protestors have created a “systemic disruption” on campus.

Meanwhile, tensions heightened when counter-protesters marched to the encampment carrying American flags, chanting “USA, USA!” as Muslim students gathered for Friday prayers. A line of cops formed between the protest groups, sources at campus said.
