IU Chabad House, IU Hillel, Hoosiers for Israel, Congregation Beth Shalom and other local Jewish groups collaborated for an Oct. 7 memorial event at the Alumni Association Monday night.

Last year, the attack on Israel left over 1200 people dead and 250 hostages. There are still roughly 100 hostages unaccounted for, although Israeli officials estimate a third of those may be dead.

DePauw, Indiana, Notre Dame and Purdue universities were included in the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s latest survey results.

Last month, the IU Board of Trustees passed a new “expressive activities” policy after criticism of the university’s handling of antiwar protests in the spring. The policy prohibits protests between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

An officer first addressed the crowd, gathered on both sides of the Eagleson bridge south of 7th street, and asked the protesters to remove the tent.

Protesters claimed they were hit by a Bloomington community service vehicle during a march through town.

The two flights started shortly before President Pamela Whitten and other academic leaders took the stage at IU’s Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

Protesters calling for Indiana University to divest from Israel are now demanding the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office drop a charge against an IU student arrested during a protest last week.

A spokesperson for the group behind the Gaza solidarity encampment at IU says protesters in Dunn Meadow hope to avoid clashing with supporters of Israel as the campus prepares to host competing demonstrations.
