In the hearing, Yakoby called for more decisive action from University administrators in response to alleged antisemitism at Penn, including during the recent Gaza Solidarity Encampment. 

Several RAs told The Daily Pennsylvanian that Penn cut the final scheduled day of negotiations of the semester short and refused to accept the group’s multiple counterproposals.

The initiative breaks down into three parts: a donation center for unwanted items, a curbside furniture drive, and curbside bulk trash removal.

In October, the FDA said that it was “gathering information” about Katz’s death, and a Panera spokesperson also said that the company had enhanced its caffeine disclosures.

The initial complaint alleges that efforts to investigate the University over alleged antisemitism on campus have threatened professors' academic freedom.

Penn issued a UPennAlert for a "large disruptive crowd." Approximately 150 to 200 protesters had gathered at Larry Jameson's house after marching from Woodland Ave.

Multiple Penn professors recounted their experience with this morning's police sweep of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at the gathering, with several speakers and audience members breaking into tears.

Demonstrators remained at the intersection for around three hours and chanted at police officers, who maintained a large presence even after the police vans had left. 

At 1 p.m., the American Association of University Professors held a press conference condemning the arrests of members of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment and the suppression of "nonviolent anti-war protest."

While several of Pennsylvania’s most high-profile politicians praised Penn’s move to disband the encampment, two politicians who represent Penn expressed deep concern about the University's conduct. 

Falleti wrote that she is “no longer confident of my ability to work collaboratively with our administration that has sent in the police to arrest its own students, staff, and faculty.”

Approximately 33 individuals were arrested at the encampment early Friday morning, a University spokesperson wrote to The Daily Pennsylvanian. As of 9:05 a.m., all individuals had been released.

Around five Penn employees could be seen carrying out tents, signs, flags, backpacks, and other belongings from the encampment and loading them into a trash truck parked on Locust Walk. 

University administrators explained that they acted after the campus had been “under threat” for too long a period of tine.

The arrests came nearly two week after pro-Palestinian activists pitched approximately 40 tents on College Green.

The police response comes on the 16th day since the Gaza Solidarity Encampment began and the second day since it expanded.

“The University of Pennsylvania has an obligation to their safety,” he said. “It is past time for the university to act, to address this, to disband the encampment, and to restore order and safety on campus.”
