Emerson College will not take disciplinary action against students arrested as part of a pro-Palestinian protest encampment that was dispersed by Boston police last week, its president said in a letter to the college community Sunday.

Over 100 protesters were arrested in downtown Boston’s Boylston Place alleyway in the early morning on Thursday, Boston police said previously. The demonstrators were part of an encampment protest against the war in Gaza by the student organization Students for Justice in Palestine.

Those arrested in the public alleyway face “a series of charges,” including disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly, police said. But in his letter Sunday, Emerson College President Jay Bernhardt said he will encourage the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office to drop charges related to city ordinance violations stemming from the encampment.

...

In addition to forgoing disciplinary action against arrested students, Bernhardt said the college will provide housing for students who are required to stay in the city for court appearances after their dorms close. In the letter, he characterized these measures as “initial steps toward healing and growth.”

How do these students find time to be in a classroom?

I’ve noticed that as well. Most, but not all the tents are practically identical and there’s definitely some organization/planning behind it as everyone seems to know exactly where they’re going to go, etc. This isn’t just a bunch of random students saying hey, we all should have encampment, meet in Sutton location at this time be prepared with a tent, water, etc. If that was the case, you’d expect to see, different styles and colors of tents, etc.

Summin Fishy. The smell seems much like the spawn of the J6 Charter Fishing Boat Industry. It looks hinky. It looks produced.
