Rutgers University announced on Thursday that final exams and academic activities scheduled on its College Avenue campus in New Brunswick would be postponed due to anti-Israel agitators. The decision was made in anticipation of potential escalation of protest activities and to ensure the safety of students. Exams and academic activities scheduled before noon on the College Avenue campus were affected by the postponement.
The university did not provide new dates for the exams but assured that updates would be forthcoming. Students were advised to contact their deans for further information regarding rescheduling.
An encampment was formed by anti-Israel protesters at Rutgers University's College Avenue Campus, organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and the Endowment Justice Collective. The groups released a statement expressing their dissatisfaction with the university's lack of response to their divestment request for Palestinian students.
The statement highlighted the protesters' determination to remain at Voorhees Mall until their demands are met, drawing a parallel to Palestinians in Gaza who refuse to leave their homes. The groups indicated that they would not attend their final exams and urged teachers to cancel them in solidarity with their cause.
