CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Hundreds of UNC faculty and staff are calling for student protesters to be allowed back in school after facing suspension. This comes less than a week after police removed and detained dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters on campus.
More than 500 employees signed a petition to grant amnesty to the students facing disciplinary action after last week's protests. They’re requesting amnesty for all students who were detained and suspended last week.
The faculty members plan to deliver this letter Monday afternoon in Peace and Justice Plaza.
