Harvard University announced Tuesday it had struck a deal with protesters to wind down an on-campus encampment that occupied its iconic Harvard Yard for nearly three weeks.
The agreement will see students suspended during the demonstration be reinstated, and university officials have agreed to discuss student questions about a potential divestment from Israel amid its ongoing conflict against Hamas in Gaza.
University spokesperson Jonathan Swain told WBUR that those talks will be attended by its interim president, Alan Garber, and Hopi Hoekstra, its dean of the faculty of arts and sciences.
