Many of us have watched with deep concern the tensions and divisions that have escalated across the country as colleges and universities have experienced intense confrontations at protests and encampments over the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The agreement itself, which has been signed by students who represent the Brown Divest Coalition, is posted publicly online. In broad terms, the students have agreed to remove the encampment and refrain from further actions that would violate the Code of Student Conduct through the end of this academic year, including through Commencement and Reunion Weekend.

The students and administration agreed that I will ask the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management (ACURM) to provide me with a recommendation on the matter of divestment by September 30, 2024, and this will be brought to the Corporation for a vote at the October 2024 Corporation meeting. Consideration by ACURM is a long-standing prerequisite for Corporation consideration of divestment requests.
The final major provision of the agreement relates to the application of our Code of Student Conduct to students who have been involved in the encampment and associated activities. Since April 24, the establishment of tents and other related activities have violated a range of Brown University policies. We will continue to follow our conduct processes related to the unauthorized activities. However, we have agreed that ending the encampment today will be viewed favorably in disciplinary proceedings.
These terms were reached after I wrote yesterday to the students identified as participants in the encampment to offer the meeting with members of the Corporation. Members of the administration and the student representatives met both yesterday and today to formalize the agreement, which has been signed by the University and the Coalition representatives.
I hope the meeting between the students and Corporation members will allow for a full and frank exchange of views. As I shared with the protesting students in my letter yesterday, the devastation and loss of life in the Middle East has prompted many to call for meaningful change, while also raising real issues about how best to accomplish this. Brown has always prided itself on resolving differences through dialog, debate and listening to each other.
I cannot condone the encampment, which was in violation of University policies. Also, I have been concerned about the escalation in inflammatory rhetoric that we have seen recently, and the increase in tensions at campuses across the country. I appreciate the sincere efforts on the part of our students to take steps to prevent further escalation.
During these challenging times, we continue to be guided by our mission of advancing knowledge and understanding in a spirit of free inquiry within a caring and compassionate community. We remain focused on four major priorities: (1) protecting the safety of our community; (2) fostering open and respectful learning environments; (3) providing care and empathy to affected members of our community; and (4) taking the strongest possible stance against any form of discrimination, harassment and racism against any race or ethnic group.
But, as I have emphasized before, universities were built to hold disagreement and grapple with competing views. This is an essential part of our mission of advancing knowledge and understanding. I am confident that the Brown community can live up to the values of support for free expression within an open and respectful learning community.
I wish all of our faculty, students and staff well as we come to the end of the spring semester and prepare for Commencement and Reunion Weekend, and I look forward to celebrating the achievements of our students and welcoming our graduates to the community of Brown alumni.
We have reached an agreement with a group of students and faculty who represent the majority of the protestors on Deering Meadow to bring the demonstration into compliance with University rules and policies. This agreement represents a sustainable and de-escalated path forward, and enhances the safety of all members of the Northwestern community while providing space for free expression that complies with University rules and policies.
This agreement was forged by the hard work of students and faculty working closely with members of the administration to help ensure that the violence and escalation we have seen elsewhere does not happen here at Northwestern.
This agreement also addresses our commitment to protect the safety of our entire community and to ensure the ongoing academic operations of our campus while adhering to our support for free expression. The agreement includes support for our Muslim, Arab and Palestinian students. Some of the actions have been discussed for years and some are new. Together, they will strengthen our community.
This path forward requires the immediate removal of tents on Deering Meadow, cessation of non-approved use of amplified sound and a commitment that all conduct on Deering and across campus will comply with all University rules and policies. Compliant demonstration can continue at Deering Meadow through June 1.
For any demonstrators refusing to comply with the agreed-upon path forward, the University will take action to protect the safety of the community and enforce University rules and policies. These steps will include the suspension of non-compliant students and a requirement that non-affiliated individuals leave campus.
We know more challenges remain ahead of us. But our guiding principles will never waver: protecting the safety of our entire community, preserving free expression and peaceful demonstration, denouncing and refuting intolerance and hate, and ensuring that our University can continue to operate without disruption.
We encourage you to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour so that you may be able to check in with our student ambassadors that will be taking you out on tour. We want to ensure that you have time to get water, coffee, and feel comfortable before your tour.
We understand that some families may not yet feel comfortable coming to campus, so we are continuing to offer our virtual visit options here. You can view an online information session, hear from current students, attend one of our MocTalks, and even explore campus through our virtual tours. As always, your admissions counselor is happy to help answer any questions you may have about Florida Southern. You can find contact information for your counselor here.
The NC State campus changed significantly with the New Deal, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's signature program to revive the American economy during the 1930s Great Depression. More than 12 buildings were constructed on campus through federal government funding, and most remain today. A interesting website called the Living New Deal is documenting all United States structures resulting from 1930s government programs. This website hadn't covered any of NC State's buildings, but we recently changed that! The entries I contributed are listed under the Raleigh, NC, page of the site. Links to individual building entries are below.
The Public Works Administration (PWA) and the Works Progress (later Work Projects) Administration (WPA) funded most 1930s construction at NC State. These were two separate federal agencies, but the public frequently conflated them. In many respects, the funding functioned as grants--the agencies awarded money to the college that then paid contractors and construction workers to erect the buildings. These work programs' real purpose was to create employment during the Great Depression, but their visible legacy has lasted ever since. The photo album Major College Projects of the Public Works Administration describes some of the NC State projects.
Constructed under the PWA as part of the same project, Alexander Hall was originally known as "A" Dormitory and Turlington as "C" Dormitory. Architecture professor Ross Shumaker was the designer of record for both buildings (completed in 1940). (See more online resources for Alexander and Turlington Halls.)
Construction of these buildings (also designed by Shumaker) fell under a single PWA project. Becton was originally known as Eighth Dormitory, Berry as Ninth, and Clark as Tenth. Construction occurred in 1938 and 1939. (See more online resources for Becton, Berry, and Clark Halls.)
Although partially constructed in the 1920s with alumni contributions, the Belltower remained unfinished during the early Depression. WPA funding allowed the building's shaft to be completed in 1937. The project also included the quarrying (in Surry County) and transportation of the granite. (See more online resources for the Belltower.)
These PWA projects resulted in a specialized Textile Building (later named Nelson Hall) and a chemistry building with classrooms and laboratories (named Withers Hall while still under construction). Both were completed in 1939 and designed by architect G. W. Carr (the front facades share similarities). J. E. Sirrine is credited with the engineering design of Nelson. (See more online resources for Nelson and Withers Halls.)
Construction on Reynolds began in early 1942 with WPA funding. The building was originally conceived an armory and student assembly hall, as well as an athletics venue. Shumaker is credited (in part) with the design. Progress with the skeleton halted when World War II intervened. After the war, construction recommenced when the college arranged other funding sources, and the men's basketball team first played games there in Dec. 1949, long after the Depression had ended. (See more online resources for Reynolds Coliseum.)
Long before the College of Veterinary Medicine existed, NC State operated a dairy farm on the site. The PWA funded construction of barns and other buildings there during the late 1930s. Shumaker was again the architect.
PWA-funded renovations also took place in Tompkins and Patterson Halls, as indicated in Major College Projects of the Public Works Administration. Renovations may also have occurred in Daniels Hall. Subsequent construction in these buildings have probably removed or altered this work. 152ee80cbc
