Chicago police dismantled DePaul University’s pro-Palestine encampment Thursday morning after administrators signed a complaint alleging trespassing by the protestors, officials said.
University leaders said Saturday they had reached an impasse in negotiations with organizers, but no intervention was taken throughout the week.
The encampment, erected April 30, had been Chicago’s last-standing university demonstration against the ongoing war in Gaza. Around 100 tents were pitched on the university’s main quad in Lincoln Park.
