Protests in the streets outside De Paul University in Chicago 

Chicago, May 18 (RHC)-- Police continued their violent crackdown on student Gaza solidarity protests, with arrests and raids at the University of California / Berkeley, as well as DePaul University in Chicago. 

DePaul student body president Parveen Mundi told reporters:  "I’m a student body president and I go to a university, and at the same time there are no universities left in Gaza, we’re all responsible for making sure that our tuition dollars aren’t going towards genocide.”

Faculty at Morehouse College, a historically Black college in Atlanta, voted 50 to 38 in favor of conferring an honorary doctorate to President Biden when he delivers a commencement speech on Sunday.  Biden’s visit to Morehouse has been met with protests from students over his response to the Gaza genocide.

In New York state, students at Bard College have just taken over the school’s administration building.

Meanwhile, Columbia students and faculty celebrated an alternative “People’s Graduation” at the nearby Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
