Dear Reader,
On April 29, UChicago United for Palestine (UCUP) launched an encampment on the quad, joining peers across the globe in protesting the war in Gaza. Eight days later, the University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) conducted an early morning raid, bringing the encampment to an end. From the beginning of the encampment to the raid that ended it, Maroon staff produced constant live updates and in-depth stories.
