From the Daily Pennsylvanian:
Penn students, alumni, and Philadelphia community members protested at Penn President Larry Jameson’s private residence on Friday morning.
The March 21 demonstration criticized the University’s “complicity in Palestinian genocide, violations of free speech, and refusal to protect Penn’s non-citizen community from invasive I.C.E. raids.” According to a press release from the organizers, over 50 individuals — including students from other Philadelphia-area universities — arrived at Jameson’s residence in Lower Merion Township, Pa. at 7 a.m. and “plastered over 200 copies of a letter” around the property.
The demonstrators demanded that Penn disclose its endowment portfolio, divest from “all corporations profiting from the ongoing Nakba,” and defend the University community from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Pro-Palestinian student organizers have made similar demands since last fall — including during the Gaza Solidarity Encampment that took place on College Green in spring 2024.
