Chicago police clear out pro-Palestinian DePaul quad encampment
CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago police cleared out a pro-Palestinian encampment on DePaul University's Lincoln Park quad Thursday morning.
Officers in riot gear were seen on the North Side campus just before 6 a.m.
The encampment had been in place for over two weeks; it began on April 30.
In a letter to faculty, staff and students early Thursday, DePaul President Robert L. Manuel said, "despite our good faith efforts to come to a shared resolution with the DePaul Divestment Coalition, we were unsuccessful."
