Penn and Philadelphia Police officers in riot gear arrested individuals at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at around 6 a.m. on Friday.
Pro-Palestinian activists, including Penn and Philadelphia community members, erected a second encampment with multiple tents to the left of the current encampment on Penn's College Green — the first expansion of the demonstration since it began two weeks ago. The expansion came after Penn referred nine students for disciplinary action due to their involvement, and after a group of eight organizers met with administrators.
The Daily Pennsylvanian is continuing to follow the encampment, students' demands, and the University's response.

Dear Class of 2028,
Four years ago, Penn launched its “Second Year Experience.” The current seniors will be the first graduating class required to live two years on campus with a dining plan. With the recent campus power outage, flooding that displaced more than 50 students, unexpected discoveries in dining hall food, and questions about Penn’s treatment of its dining hall workers, it is time that we call this plan into question.
Dear Interim President Jameson,
To call this semester unprecedented would be an understatement.
Penn President Liz Magill announced her plans to resign in an email to the Penn community on Dec. 9. Minutes later, Scott Bok wrote he is stepping down from his position as the chair of the University Board of Trustees, according to a statement from Bok obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian.
In 2020, the Daily Pennsylvanian published an editorial encouraging students to look forward to 2021. After all, at that time, students were being welcomed back onto campus, a COVID-19 vaccine was on the way, and there were bountiful new opportunities for student activism beyond the 2020 presidential election.
How do we define free speech? How do we define how a university campus promotes, or discourages, free speech?
