As pro-Palestinian protesters are
gathering at universities across the U.S.
, one New Jersey campus has struck a deal to end the encampment.
Students at
in New Brunswick are no longer protesting following an agreement with the school’s administration.
University leaders have agreed to eight of the protesters’ demands, officials say.
Some of those terms include accepting at least 10 displaced Gazan students to study at the university on a scholarship.
Another term includes hiring additional professors who specialize in Palestine and Middle Eastern studies.
The movement also called for the university to cut ties with Israel.
In a statement, the university’s chancellor responded in part, “While the request for the university to divest from companies engaged in Israel and to sever ties with Tel Aviv University was made, such decisions fall outside of our administrative scope.”
