Although all of the students received their degrees, some students and professors have alleged misconduct by the University throughout the proceedings.
UCUP is organizing a rally during convocation to protest the University withholding degrees from students currently involved in the “Disciplinary System for Disruptive Conduct.” The students' cases will not have been resolved before graduation on June 1.
Organizers spoke about the aftermath of Tuesday morning’s raid, which cleared the “UChicago Popular University for Gaza” encampment nine days after its inception on April 29.
Several faculty leaders spoke on the state of negotiations with University administration, expressed disapproval against potential use of police force, and framed the encampment as an embodiment of free expression.
