At Stanford University, Hundreds Mobilize Again This Week for Sit-in Defense

Update: Stanford University "Sit-In to Stop Genocide" organizers remain committed to overnight camping until significant progress has been made toward their demands.

“The sit-in has maintained that they are willing to voluntarily end the overnight portion of their activities in exchange for satisfactory progress toward their demands,” said a sit-in organizer, quoted in the Stanford Daily.

Parents’ Weekend is coming up soon. It’s clear that the administration would find the presence of the sit-in an embarrassment and has escalated pressure on students ahead of that event, including launching threats of disciplinary action and even arrest.
