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

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."

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

Measures include airport-style security, a no-bag policy, and PennCard checks for all graduates to enter the field. 

The main entrance to Van Pelt Library is closed to everyone — including Penn students — as of 8:04 p.m. Penn Hillel is also currently on lockdown, according to a source familiar with the matter. 

At around 7:30 p.m., members began moving barriers and at least eight tents onto the east side of College Green as a crowd of 200 people chanted “disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest.” 

The letter, which was acquired by The Daily Pennsylvanian, calls on Jameson to “act immediately,” even if it means inviting the Philadelphia Police Department to campus.

The encampment spokesperson said that Penn’s administration “doubled down on their oppression toward the encampment” and referred nine students for disciplinary action yesterday. 

 Attendees at the pro-Palestinian rally also alleged additional instances of harassment from two different counterprotesters before and after Hill's remarks.

The new declarations, which were obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian, include additional information about the ongoing encampment on College Green and antisemitic actions that have allegedly taken place since it began.

In a message to the University community around 7 a.m. Monday morning, Jameson reiterated his demand for the encampment to disband but said that Penn was taking a "measured" approach to avoid a more aggressive response that would cause "further disruption."

A faculty member familiar with the matter told The Daily Pennsylvanian conversations are ongoing between administrators and faculty who are “requesting good faith negotiations from both sides to arrive at a peaceful resolution of the conflict.”

Speakers at the rally discussed the status of administration negotiations, early morning harassment from counterprotesters, and the current realities for citizens of Gaza.

Cardona describes a "sharp rise in antisemitism" over the past few days, and highlights resources for protecting safety and inclusion on college campuses. 

As the second week of the encampment began, the University suggested through a spokesperson that it was all but in a stalemate with demonstrators.
