AMHERST — A study group created by the University of Massachusetts Amherst chancellor will present policies, procedures and guidelines regarding campus demonstrations to the institution’s Faculty Senate next week.
The Campus Demonstration Policy Taskforce began its work in June, following the arrest of over 130 people during pro-Palestinian protests last spring. Chancellor Javier Reyes made the decision to call in police from a number of agencies to end an unsanctioned protest over the war in Gaza.
Now that the report is done, the task force intends to share its recommended policies with the school’s Student Affairs and University Life Council before presenting it to the Faculty Senate during its meeting Sept. 12 at 3:30 p.m. in Herter Hall, Room 227.
