Why I Ended the University of Chicago Protest Encampment

University of Chicago President Paul Alivisatos, Ph.D., writes:  

As president of the University of Chicago, I ended the encampment that occupied the University’s Main Quad for more than a week. The Tuesday morning action resulted in no arrests. Recent months have seen tremendous contention over protests on campuses, including pressure campaigns from every direction. That made this a decision of enormous import for the university.
