An anti-Israel student protest group at the University of Washington in Seattle revealed online that it would delay a planned protest for not being diverse enough, per a recent report.
“The encampment was scheduled for Thursday morning at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle,” 770KTTH reported in a story flagged by radio host Jason Rantz. “UW administration privately told Jewish leaders that the school did not intend to intervene with the direct action unless βthe event escalates and threatens life safety.β”
The Progressive Student Union (UWPSU) revealed Thursday that an encampment it had originally planned to protest the Israel-Hamas war was not a good enough “reflection of the UW community.”
“After a long meeting we decided to postpone the encampment,” the group posted on Instagram Thursday. “We want to make sure this encampment is a better reflection of the UW community, and having even greater unity with Muslim, Palestinian, and Arab students.”
