Northwestern agrees to students' 'clear set of demands', both sides negotiating in good faith

- For five days, the shouts of student protesters and supporters rang out from Northwestern University’s Deering Meadow as they joined demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war unfolding on college campuses nationwide. But the meadow on the suburban Chicago campus fell silent hours after student organizers and the school announced an agreement late Monday to curb protest activity in return for the reestablishment of an advisory committee on university investments and other commitments. By quickly defusing the protests in Evanston and avoiding the longer standoffs that happened on other campuses, the agreement at Northwestern offered an example of successful negotiations between anti-war demonstrators and administrators. Brown University announced a similar deal. Still, the arrangement drew dissent from both sides. Protesters condemned the Northwestern agreement as a failure to stick to students' original demands while some supporters of Israel said the deal represented “cowardly” capitulation to protesters. As Northwestern swiftly reaches a deal with student protesters, and a way forward, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by The Daily Northwestern's Editor in Chief Jacob Wendler.

Thank you for ACTUALLY TALKING TO THE STUDENTS and getting OUR PERSPECTIVE. The same unfortunately cannot be said about the majority of U.S. media coverage.
Does the USA have freedom of speech now??
Lots of students have been interviewed, you haven't watched enough news reports on this topic.
Look how PEACEFUL are students without those pro-genocide monsters. And without police. Its peaceful out there !
To a certain extent. Jewish students, however, were harassed on Campus at Northwestern University
Shame on to Pro-Israeli supporters those have attacked on Pro-palestine.
Brown university is 1st to agree for voting on divestments ✌️
The Daily Northwestern's Editor in Chief, Jacob Wendle answered the questions perfectly. A masterclass in giving an interview and presenting an unbiased account. Politicians, spokespeople and media people, much older than Jacob, could learn a lot. He was FANTASTIC.
Truly absurd. The university is teaching students that violence is the most effective means to get what they want.
It's called CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. Get it right. Stop supporting GENOCIDE.
CBC ( Canadian broadcaster) call it a "clash"! Can anyone see a class or an attack from hired goons
Helml from Finland
I have to go Back to home

People of Gaza, kids & women have been suffering from extreme hunger / appetite. But Israel has blocked Aid intentionally. Is it not inhumanity, injustice ?
The KING never smile??? 🗿
Can somebody send me little euro because I have to go Back to home.I am from Ukraine and now in Finland
hongkong ?
Deploy military VMADS & LRAD

These students were never disciplined as kids.
So much for a 2 state solution. Hamas and Netanyahu colluded(knowingly ot not) to ensure that would never happen because in that scenario they both fade into obscurity. Our best option is divestment. Wait too much longer and we may have no options.
Divestment makes 0 difference. There is a decent chance Gantz and Barghouti start up peace talks again either way in 6 to 12 months.
Is it time to restrict Palestinian immigration? This is disgraceful behaviour affecting a wide number of University sites disrupti ng the educational needs and services for all students.
Wouldn't need immigration if us didn't keep vetoing Palestinian statehood. One day the us will pay for it's crimes against humanity!
