We (sort of) won! Hats off to the students who kept the peace despite provocation and the colleagues who negotiated without losing their cool. Wins: #Rutgers will partner with #BirZeit; 10 scholarships for students from Gaza (OK, drop in the bucket); new MENA program, and more. @inquiline your ex-colleagues came through heroically. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/02/rutgers-university-of-minnesota-protest-agreement
