N.Y.U. Says It Will Discipline Students Who Remain in Encampment
The New York Times
The university had set a noon deadline for an end to overnight stays at the site, but students remained there on Monday afternoon.
New York University officials will move to discipline student demonstrators who remain in a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus, the university announced in a statement on Monday.
The encampment was erected on Friday, as similar sites spread on college campuses across the country, following Columbia University’s lead. Students removed their tents on Friday as N.Y.U. demanded but continued to stay overnight at the encampment.
On Sunday night, college officials presented the protesters with two options: end the overnight stays “without consequences” or stay and possibly face “conduct charges,” according to the statement. School leaders extended the deadline to respond to noon on Monday.
By Monday afternoon, students had not responded and had remained at the site, John Beckman, a university spokesman, said in the statement. “Accordingly and regrettably, N.Y.U. is moving forward with disciplinary processes,” he said.
College officials did not immediately respond to a request for more details about what the “disciplinary processes” would entail.
Dylan Hernandez, a student who is a spokesman for the N.Y.U. Palestine Solidarity Coalition, said Monday that the university was not “arguing on a good-faith basis, even though it purports to do so.”
