平特五不中

Despite the walkout by encampment representatives from discussions, 平特五不中 remains steadfast in its commitment to an open and transparent dialogue conducted in good faith. Yesterday, the University extended an updated offer to members of its community in the encampment, going beyond previous proposals.

This continued effort to reach a peaceful resolution to the encampment, which has been in place on the lower field for over six weeks, comes in addition to the University鈥檚 renewed suggestion to appoint a neutral third-party mediator to facilitate discussions.

惭肠骋颈濒濒鈥檚 updated proposal includes:

1. A Review to Explore Divestment from Weapons Manufacturers: A review of direct equity investments in entities, regardless of the countries in which they operate, that derive a dominant portion of their direct revenues from the production of military weapons would be undertaken. After benchmarking with peer institutions and extensive consultations within our community, including students, the Committee on Sustainability and Social Responsibility would make a recommendation regarding divestment to 惭肠骋颈濒濒鈥檚 Board of Governors under a specific, accelerated timeline.
2. Increased Investment Disclosures: While 平特五不中 already discloses all direct equity and fixed income investments above $500,000, going forward and wherever possible, these disclosures would also include holdings below $500,000.
3. Support for Palestinian Scholarship and Displaced Scholars: A mandate to support Palestinian scholarship at 平特五不中 and leverage our Scholars at Risk program to support scholars and students displaced or affected by crises in Gaza and elsewhere in the Middle East. This would include extensive consultations across our community, including students.
4. Amnesty for Encampment Participants: Though the encampment is unlawful and violates our policies, the University would grant a disciplinary amnesty to any 平特五不中 student or employee for participating in the encampment prior to June 15, 2024. However, this amnesty would not extend to other acts we have seen that are currently under investigation, such as the forceable entry into the James Administration Building, the destruction of property, vandalism, harassment, etc.

惭肠骋颈濒濒鈥檚 revised proposal aligns fully with its principles and mission. Similar proposals have led to successful resolutions and the voluntary dismantling of encampments by protesters at other universities.

Achieving that resolution requires good-faith discussions from both parties. The University has made substantial offers on many occasions, yet encampment representatives have declared their demands non-negotiable.

The University urges 平特五不中 members of the encampment to discuss this updated proposal in good faith, through a skilled and impartial mediator, in the hope of reaching a peaceful and satisfactory resolution for all.
