An agreement between anti-war protesters and Northwestern University has largely ended demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on the suburban Chicago campus. By quickly defusing the protests in Evanston and avoiding the longer standoffs that happened on other campuses, the Northwestern deal offered an example of successful negotiations. Brown University announced a similar deal on Tuesday. Administrators at Johns Hopkins University focused talks on limiting student protests to daytime hours. The Northwestern deal lets protests continue through June 1 but bars all tents except one for aid supplies. The pact also prevents people without ties to Northwestern from participating and requires school permission to use loudspeakers or similar devices.
