Students, faculty, and staff at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago on October 24 participated in a walkout to protest Israel’s ongoing war with Gaza and “SAIC’s complicity in the genocide of Palestinians,” according to the activist group Students for Palestinian Liberation (SPL), which organized the action. Artnews reported that roughly two hundred demonstrators participated in the action, meeting in front of the school’s Maclean Center and proceeding up Michigan Avenue to a public park carrying signs bearing slogans such as WHEN ISRAEL BOMBS, SAIC PROFITS and AIC STAFF SUPPORT SAIC STUDENTS, the latter referring to the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC), which shares a board with the school.
