The Daily Pennsylvanian sat down with Epstein last week to discuss his experience with the abrupt leadership transition and his priorities in his new role.

The revelation of disciplinary action comes as Penn’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment is continuing its sixth day on College Green.

The guidance elaborates on Penn’s policies for individuals involved in demonstrations who do not belong to the University community and for identification checks.

The rally was held “in support of a peaceful campus environment for Jewish faculty, staff, [and] students,” according to flyers circulating on Instagram.

The petition demands that Penn administrators allow the "peaceful protest encampment to continue," and "guarantee no disciplinary actions will be taken against students involved in the encampment." 

The search began at 5:48 p.m., when the chief of Penn Fire Department began conducting a sweep of the encampment.

Several students have received disciplinary hearing notices, and students previously reported threats from Penn's administration that the encampment would be cleared on Wednesday.

As the encampment and programming continues, here is how the University has responded to previous instances of student activism on campus. 

The encampment first formed on Thursday afternoon following the intersection of a march beginning at City Hall and a faculty walkout on Penn’s campus.

There are several University policies, including both facilities policies and the Interpretative Guidelines on Open Expression, that Jameson might be referencing in his approach to the encampment.

The Daily Pennsylvanian looked into what disclosure and divestment mean and how Penn manages its $21 billion endowment. 

The statement, referencing "violent police action" taken against student and faculty protesters on college campuses nationwide, urged Penn to prevent similar violence from "being replicated here in Philadelphia."

Organizers wrote in a statement that until the encampment's demands are met, they "will continue to occupy this space."

The Daily Pennsylvanian spoke with several Jewish students about their reactions to the encampment and what they hope to see from the University moving forward.

Events offered included speakers, poetry readings, and de-escalation training.

Protesters have been notified of their violations and will face sanctions if they do not disband immediately.

Voting on the referendum will be open for all undergraduate students until Wednesday.
