The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has issued a letter to protesters, instructing them to peacefully clear an encampment by 2:30 p.m. on Monday or face disciplinary consequences. This directive comes after attempts to reach a resolution with the protesters failed.
Students who choose not to comply with the deadline risk facing immediate interim academic suspension, which would prevent them from participating in classes, exams, research, or graduation activities. The encampment was initially set up by pro-Palestinian students at MIT in solidarity with peers at Columbia University, with over a dozen tents erected at Kresge Oval in Cambridge.
