Students to end encampment at University of Oregon after deal reached

The Pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Oregon has agreed to disband after more than three weeks.

Student protesters were taking down tents Thursday morning after reaching a deal with UO’s administration the night before.

The university still hasn’t agreed to some of the protesters’ core demands, which include cutting financial and academic ties with Israel. But it said it will fund scholarships for students from Gaza, and expand its educational offerings around Palestine.
