Last Friday, Penn’s interim president J. Larry Jameson called for the protests to be disbanded, arguing that students were violating the university’s facilities policies.

The protest is reportedly made up of students from a few different universities in Philadelphia, including Penn, Drexel University, and Temple University.Read it at The Daily PennsylvanianRead more at The Daily Beast.
