The only things you can hear on campus Monday at UNC-Chapel Hill are a few student footsteps and the lights.
They are hard to miss at Polk Place in the middle of campus.
So are the giant fences guarding a place
where demonstrators sat last week
.
ABC11 cameras were in Chapel Hill on Sunday
as protesters continued to call on the university
to cut ties with Israel and to pardon the more than 30 students detained last week.
A petition was signed and walked to administrators Monday as well urging professors and other staff to hold off on grades until students are given amnesty.
The university responded by saying it cannot happen.
A message sent from UNC-Chapel Hill Provost Chris Clemens and Graduate School Dean Beth Mayer-Davis to deans and department chairs said in part, “We strongly support the right of faculty and graduate students to express their opinions freely but there are better ways to do this than hurting our students and abrogating our contract with the people who support our university.”
