The student-led hunger strike at Princeton University in protest of the war in Gaza is over.
In a statement posted on social media, the students said their decision came after meeting with the university’s administration to discuss their demands for disclosure and divestment from Israel and amnesty for protesters who were arrested in April. The hunger strike was part of a larger pro-Palestinian sit-in and protest that began at Princeton on April 25.
On Monday, the university’s president sent a letter to the campus community, warning all demonstrators they needed to clear the encampment that had been set up on Cannon Green for the last several weeks so the school could prepare for end-of-year events.
