Northwestern University has reached a controversial agreement with pro-Palestinian student protesters after a 5-day occupation, granting full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and offering faculty positions to Palestinian academics. The settlement also includes increased student oversight of university investments, special housing for Muslim students, and the establishment of rules for demonstrations, including considerations for divesting from Israel. This has sparked significant backlash, leading to the resignation of some members of Northwestern's antisemitism task force. Critics argue the concessions are excessive and may violate the Civil Rights Act. Calls for the resignation of Northwestern's president, Michael Schill, are intensifying amid legal concerns and mounting criticism from various groups.
