According to a report by CBS News, the protesters have been camped out on the campus since October 14th, and have been met with resistance from university officials. Despite the fact that the university has offered to provide temporary housing to displaced workers, the protesters are refusing to leave the encampment until their demands are met. The protesters are also demanding justice for a series of incidents involving alleged police brutality on campus.
In one incident… a student was ⁘⁘⁘ed and detained for hours without charges being filed against them. The protesters are calling for greater accountability and transparency from the university and local law enforcement. As reported by CBS News, the protesters have been peaceful and have not caused any disruptions to university operations.
Despite this, university officials have cited concerns about safety and property as reasons for wanting the protesters to leave. The protesters are not alone in their fight. The university has received support from local community organizations and labor unions… who are urging the university to negotiate with the protesters rather than using force to evict them.
The standoff between the protesters and the university is ongoing, “with no immediate resolution in sight.” According to the Detroit Free Press, “the protesters are prepared to stay on campus indefinitely until their demands are met.”
