From New York, this is Democracy Now.

My name is Dr Kreps.

I'm a senior at Middlebury College, and I participated in the Middlebury Solidarity

encampment.

Over the weekend, our camp voted to make an agreement with the administration.

That meant that our encampment came down yesterday in exchange for significant progress

on each of the encampments demands.

As students around the United States set up Gaza Solidarity Encampments on their campuses,

many universities have called and police who've arrested students

sometimes violently and dismantled the sites. But students at a number of

colleges have managed to negotiate agreements where

administrators have exceeded to some of their demands

including considering divestment from Israel.

Today we're joined by four students from Middlebury College in Vermont, Evergreen in Washington State, Brown University

in Rhode Island, and Rutgers in New Jersey.

Then we speak with one of over 60 journalism professors who've signed a letter to the New York Times

calling on the paper to commission an independent review of a controversial December article alleging Hamas systematically weaponized sexual

violence on October 7th.

It was very troubling to professors of journalism to see such a shorty article be published without a retraction or an

investigation and so it became important for us to write this letter and to send it to the New York Times.

The New York Times has since cut ties with one of the three reporters on the story.

All that and more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now.
