Stanford Students Ends Monthslong Gaza Ceasefire Sit-In, Will Hold Talks with University Officials

HeadlineFeb 16, 2024

Students at Stanford University are ending a monthslong sit-in to demand the university call for a ceasefire in Gaza and divest from Israeli companies complicit in war crimes, among other things. Stanford officials had started cracking down on the action, which began in October, threatening to arrest and discipline students who camped out on campus. But the school finally agreed to two meetings with the group to discuss their demands, leading to the decision to disband the longest continuous sit-in in Stanford’s history.
