City College has entered its third day of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. The encampment is part of a nationwide movement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, with solidarity protests occurring at over a hundred campuses including Columbia, NYU, and FIT. Student organizers met with CUNY and City College administration to discuss their demands, but talks were unproductive. The organizers have set a deadline for CUNY Chancellor Matos Rodriguez to engage in negotiations by Monday. Melanie Marich with the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY reports.
