As the 23rd day of the encampment comes to an end, all is quiet. 

The encampment count remains steady with approximately 60 tents set on the lawn between Fenton and Friendly Hall.

Weather conditions in Eugene are expected to drop overnight with a 65% chance of rain. 

No police were present at the scene as of this writing. 

Tomorrow at 3 p.m., a University Senate meeting will be held where President Scholz is scheduled to give remarks.

The encampment remains peaceful and quiet as the day continues. 

Organizers of the encampment posted today’s schedule on Instagram, including a “Mass Meeting With Faculty Guests” at 5 p.m. and a meeting with Alex Awad, an instructor at Bethlehem Bible College in Bethlehem, at 7:30 p.m.

UO spokesperson Eric Howald confirmed that the university had not attempted to contact students who had chained themselves to Johnson Hall. Howald also said that Johnson “remains secured but employees who work in the building are accessing it via keycard.”

The pro-Palestine encampment on UO’s campus, led by the UO Coalition for Palestine, continues following yesterday’s unchaining of five student protesters from the pillars outside of Johnson Hall, the UO administration building. The students had been chained to the building since Thursday afternoon.

The encampment, now on day 23, was located on the Memorial Quad in front of the Knight Library until May 16, when demonstrators moved the encampment in front of Johnson and on the lawn between Friendly and Fenton Halls.

The number of tents in the encampment has decreased in recent days — but numerous demonstrators are still involved, as evidenced by yesterday’s “100 hours in chains” rally, attended by roughly 150 protesters who marched through Tykeson Hall and the Erb Memorial Union.

There are signs that negotiations may be resuming between the university and leaders of the encampment. A timeline provided by the university on “engagement with encampment representatives” indicates that “an additional process of dialogue” that engages “several members of faculty and staff” was begun on May 17, and that “a small group of faculty met with student demonstrators” on May 19.

Representatives for the encampment and the university have not commented on recent meetings. Formal negotiations have not resumed since May 9, when leaders of the encampment rejected an offer from the university. 

A University Senate meeting, scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p.m., may provide clarity on UO’s response moving forward. President John Karl Scholz is scheduled to give remarks, though the schedule does not mention the ongoing encampment. Scholz previously called demands for divestment “performative” in the University Senate’s May 1 meeting.

Daily Emerald reporters are on the scene and will continue to provide live updates throughout the day.
