📍Sarah Lawrence College, NY
On November 21st, students of Sarah Lawrence College occupied and barricaded our primary administrative building, known as “Westlands”. We renamed the building “Dar Al Fayoumi,” after Wadee Al Fayoumi, the six year old Palestinian boy who was stabbed to death by his family’s landlord in an instance of anti-Palestinian racist assault in Illinois in October 2023.
After 14 hours of occupation, we negotiated with administrators to gain a promise of disclosure. As part of this deal, students agreed to leave the building and gained a promise of amnesty. We established a liberated zone on the south lawn of our campus. Because of the repression from our campus administrators, we do not believe they will uphold their promise of disclosure. To pressure the university, we intend to continue our fight for divestment through our encampment. We ask for the greater community to join us in liberating our spaces and in calling for immediate disclosure of the college’s financial investments.

To those coming or looking to donate supplies, we ask that nobody buy anything new. Any money should go to Gaza. For those with spare supplies, we need tarps, tent spikes, food, and always more tents for comrades to stay in.
The encampment's demands are that Sarah Lawrence College:
🔸 provides tangible evidence of communication with Commonfund and establish an urgent timeline for disclosure
🔸 pledges to protect Arab and Muslim students against harassment
🔸 takes concrete steps to expand student and faculty input into decisions that impact the entire campus.

BREAKING: NYU STUDENTS LEAK AUDIO FROM A MEETING BETWEEN NYU ADMINISTRATORS AND STUDENT NEGOTIATORS IN APRIL, DURING THE SECOND GAZA SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT. (Link above)
“Admin promised us disclosure then. And we will get it now.”
This leak comes right after the offer made by administration to those sitting in on the 12th floor, which houses the university’s administrative offices. The offer, made by Dean of Students Rafael Rodriguez — featured in this video — was only for a meeting “in the future,” with no specifics on who or what would be involved in said meeting. We know they have the disclosure papers ready. Rodriguez said himself he could get them to us in a week. Where is the promised meeting? Where are the promised documents?
NYU, DISCLOSE NOW

BREAKING: MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARRESTED AT NYU
(via NYU FSJP)
After NYU declared five of their faculty members PNG (persona non grata), effectively barring them from all university and campus spaces, NYU has brought in police from the SRG (Strategic Response Group) this afternoon, arresting at least 8 people, including faculty, alumni and community members. Protestors blockaded the entrance of the Bobst Library—no business as usual for the executives on the 12th floor while they fund genocide.
