None of the schools agreed to divest from companies related to Israel, opting for concessions on endowments. Schools like Northwestern promise transparency, Brown plans a divestment vote, Rutgers reviews demands, and Minnesota engages with protesters.
Northwestern and Rutgers offer scholarships for Palestinian students and support for Muslim students. Rutgers expands ties with a university in the West Bank, while Minnesota explores affiliation with a Palestinian university. The agreements also grant amnesty for encampment-involved students, with specific terms at each school.
Brown's compromise of agreeing to a vote, not immediate divestment, is viewed positively by Frederick Lawrence. Building trust through compromises, investigations of bias, and amnesty for protesters is emphasized.
