Patrick Lindsey, Wayne State University vice president of government and community affairs, speaks with pro-Palestinian protesters on campus in an attempt to negotiate a meeting time on May 28, 2024. WSU announced earlier Tuesday that it was transitioning “to remote operations, effective immediately until further notice,” to limit interaction with the campus encampment.

Over the Memorial Day weekend, the relationship with protesters has become potentially strained, with Matt Lockwood, the university’s associate vice president of communications, saying that there are increasing signs of uncertainty and characterizing the protest as a “fluid situation.”

The protesters told the Free Press that they planned to stay on campus until they were removed by police or the university met their demands, including divesting from funds and companies that support Israel. The university, for its part last week, called the encampment “an evolving situation.”

At the end of this video, calling for campus to reopen, is U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Head to Freep.com for more on this story. 📹 Video by Kylie Martin, DFP.
