Brown President Seeks Opinion On Divestment

An agreement has been reached between Brown University and students protesting the school's ties to companies that are profiting from the war in Gaza.

Students agreed to end their encampment and refrain from actions that would violate Brown's conduct code through the end of the academic year.

The university agreed that five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in later this month.

During the meeting students can present their arguments for divesting.

Brown President Christina Paxson is also asking the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management to provide a recommendation on the matter by September 30th.

The recommendations will then be brought to the Corporation for a vote at its October meeting.
