Title: American Universities Respond to Pro-Palestine Protesters' Demands

Several universities in the United States have begun to comply with some demands from student protesters supporting Palestine following several days of demonstrations. CNN reported that the University of California, Riverside, reached an agreement with protesters to end their sit-in on Saturday evening. The agreement includes a commitment from the university administration for transparency and disclosure regarding investments and academic collaboration programs with external entities. NBC also reported that the University of Vermont canceled a speech by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Thomas Greenfield in response to student protesters' demands. At least 30 American universities have witnessed pro-Palestinian protests, with Fox News noting that the total number of arrests in the past two weeks is approaching 2,000. Student activism continues at American universities, despite sit-ins being broken up at several schools in New York and California, while protests against the war in Gaza persist at various universities.
