IU Divestment Coalition

An Indiana University student was charged with more than a dozen felonies for allegedly sending Christmas cards to officials that demanded divestment from financial ties to the war in Gaza. 

It’s been one year since Indiana University students put up tents in Dunn Meadow and armed Indiana State Police struck them down.

IU Divestment Coalition members gathered outside the Monroe County Justice Center Tuesday as two protesters arrested for disorderly conduct appeared in court and were assigned a public defender.

The Board of Trustees gathered feedback from the community, although with 28 working days to finalize the draft, critics objected that the process was rushed.

After continued protests from the Indiana University Divestment Coalition, the university is adjusting its campus tours.

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.

The protesters made three demands of the university: end its partnership with NSWC Crane, divest from Israel, and remove three administrators.

Protesters set up more than a dozen tents in Dunn Meadow around 11 a.m. and plan to remain there until their demands are met.
