Israel/Gaza 2023

Wayne State University in Detroit has suspended in-person classes and encouraged staff to work remotely.

Several dozen activists and University of Michigan students protested in front of the Washtenaw County courthouse.

On Tuesday morning, police shut down the encampment on the University of Michigan campus. Protesters want the school to divest from companies tied to the Israeli military.

The protesters have been camped out on the U of M Diag since last month calling on the university to divest investments from Israel.

Over the past few months, encampments and protests on college campuses have been a constant in the headlines. But how does news media shape our perception of these actions?

Students from two groups on UM's campus — for and against the encampment on the Diag — talk about the ongoing protest over Israel's war in Gaza.

The University of Michigan has declined protesters’ calls to divest its endowment from companies with ties to Israel’s war in Gaza. Here’s when U of M has divested in the past, and why.

Students at the University of Michigan set up some two dozen tents on central campus Monday in support of Palestine and in opposition to some U of M financial positions.

Students and faculty protested U of M's proposed disruptive activities policy and its rejection of calls to divest from companies that could profit from Israel's war in Gaza.

Republican Congressman Tim Walberg told a town hall meeting in Dundee that, "We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid" in Gaza and seemed to suggest nuclear weapons should be the solution.
