@BigAngBlack And now to keep monitoring that so that they don’t quietly restart it after protests have stopped…

The university plans to hold a moderated forum with students and faculty next month where concerns can be debated. Cudd said she would participate. Boeing donated $150,000 to Portland State University to name a classroom and provides about $28,000 a year for scholarships, the school newspaper PSU Vanguard reported. Portland State doesn’t have investments in Boeing. Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have erupted on college campuses across the country, particularly after last week’s arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University in New York. Students have called for universities to separate themselves from companies they say are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself. About a dozen Portland State students and supporters waved Palestinian flags and held pro-Palestinian signs on Friday. They have a list of 13 demands, including three that involve the university cutting ties with Boeing. The Portland Police Bureau said that officers cleared the South Park Blocks on Thursday night because a group of protesters were "attempting to occupy" the area despite warnings from city park rangers that the park closed at 9 p.m. "Portland supports free speech activity when done lawfully!" the agency said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Protesters were gathering at the South Park Blocks near PSU again Friday night. According to PPB, they asked that the group take down "structures," which protesters did eventually do. "However, some banners were left tied to trees, so officers eventually removed the banners," the agency added. "Police were able to explain the expectations of no structures and no banners attached to trees, and remind park users that the park closes at 9 p.m."
