University of Chicago President Paul Alivisatos wrote that the protest encampment is disrupting campus and "cannot continue."

The University of Chicago announced it was prepared to “intervene” to remove the pro-Palestine encampment from the school’s Main Quadrangle, president Paul Alivisatos said Friday, claiming student protestors have created a “systemic disruption” on campus.

On Wednesday, student activists at the U of C were joined by Chicago Public Schools students—who marched and held a protest of their own.
