I don't normally post political things on social media, but there is so much discussion of negative interactions and I want to show an example of a positive solution.
The University of Minnesota has reached a negotiated agreemennt with campus protesters through mutually respectful dialog with the protest leaders. The deal apparently includes agreements about opportunities to communicate divestment plans to the regents, discussions of ways to provide opportunities for advocacy to other students without limiting other students' individual opportunities, discussions to look into collaboration with Palestinian universities and an examination of current cross-university agreements, fully disclosing university expenditures, as well as amnesty and leniency. The protesters have agreed to remove the encampment and to not disrupt commencement ceremonies or finals. University regents and the university police have both agreed to abide by the agreement as well.
Now let's see how much the media report this as compared to the negative interactions at other schools.
