News update from Brown University:
After productive discussions between Brown University leaders and students who have held an encampment on the Brown campus since April 24, the parties reached an agreement that will end the encampment by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30.
Students agreed to end the encampment and refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year, which includes Commencement and Reunion Weekend.
The University agreed that five students will be invited to meet with five members of the Corporation of Brown University in May to present their arguments to divest Brown’s endowment from “companies enabling and profiting from the genocide in Gaza.” In addition, Paxson will ask the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management to provide a recommendation on the matter of divestment by Sept. 30, and this will be brought to the Corporation for a vote at its October 2024 meeting.
These options are independent—any number of them can happen.
Unless otherwise specified, all options refer to "in 2024" (the close date of the market).
As resolution is subjective I won't bet on this market.
Here's the specific language, according to Brown's president:
The students and administration agreed that I will ask the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management (ACURM) to provide me with a recommendation on the matter of divestment by September 30, 2024, and this will be brought to the Corporation for a vote at the October 2024 Corporation meeting. Consideration by ACURM is a long-standing prerequisite for Corporation consideration of divestment requests.
Students agreed to end the encampment and refrain from further actions that would violate Brown’s conduct code through the end of the academic year, which includes Commencement and Reunion Weekend.
Thus, vocal/disruptive protests during commencement would likely be against this current agreement (although what's covered by the conduct code is fuzzy)
Relevant quote from Brown's president:
Students who have been charged with involvement in the encampment and associated activities that violate our conduct codes will not be subject to suspension or expulsion, provided they abide by the terms of the agreement. However, the agreement makes clear that reports of bias, harassment or discrimination must continue to be investigated by the appropriate offices. In addition, if the University receives new information about any conduct violations related to or following the encampment, students won’t be exempt from conduct proceedings for those violations.
