    Updates:
    - On Monday, 4/29, the Divest Coalition held another protest at 2pm outside of the Memorial Union. In response, the University issued a Safe-U alert and shut down several surrounding buildings. This action was explained as a way to protect students, and deprived protestors of access to restrooms, water, and warmth/shelter from the rain.
    - That evening, police issued two dispersal warnings from a distance, one at 7pm and the other at 9:15. Protestors held their ground, and the encampment stayed up overnight.
    - On Tuesday, 4/30, most of east bank was shut down for the entire day, keeping students from using study spaces during a dedicated study day. The encampment stayed up all day, despite heavy rains and two further dispersal warnings.
    - On Wednesday, 4/1, buildings around the mall were closed once again. Organizers met with University leadership at 10am. Leadership claimed that an agreement had been reached for the encampment to be taken down at 5pm, though organizers denied this. The encampment has stayed up.
    - On Thursday, 4/2, organizers came to an agreement with administration, and the encampment was taken down. The University promised full financial disclosure by May 7, presentation of a divestment resolution to the Board of Regents on May 10, biweekly meetings with administration until full divestment is achieved, and public support of Palestinian students.
