Johns Hopkins University and student protesters have reached an agreement to dismantle the Gaza Solidarity encampment, with the university agreeing to review the protesters' key questions. At Harvard, two undergraduates were placed on involuntary leaves of absence due to their involvement in the pro-Palestine encampment in Harvard Yard. Interim Harvard President Alan Garber announced concessions to the encampment organizers and requested reinstatement proceedings for those placed on involuntary leaves. The encampment in Harvard Yard ended Tuesday morning. FAS Dean Hopi Hoekstra praised Garber for his handling of the situation. Meanwhile, Columbia Business School assistant professor Shai Davidai accused Harvard of failing to protect its Jewish and Israeli students during a counterprotest outside Johnston Gate. Cornell President Martha Pollack also commented on the end of the encampment, stating that suspensions would stop and existing ones would be reviewed, while noting that participants faced offensive language.
