Case Western Reserve University

A Case Western Reserve University webmaster said she refused to pull pages regarding diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships. She posted about it on Facebook and said the university threatened to fire her for that post.

The university said in a March 26 statement it will end its Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusive Engagement immediately, but in its stead, it's creating a new office for "Campus Enrichment and Engagement."

The indictments are related to graffiti from November 2024, including red handprints and paint dumped throughout campus meant to criticize the university for its response to the Israel-Hamas war.

The arrests come as tensions are heating back up on campus after a weeks-long encampment protest at the private university in Cleveland earlier this year.

For decades, thousands of students would come to college campuses across the country to play sports and learn important life skills through the National Youth Sports Program. After federal funding ended in the mid-2000s, Case Western Reserve University is one of few left.

The move comes after the university filed discipline notices against dozens of students after almost two weeks of pro-Palestinian protests earlier this year.

The research is based on a study of patients who are taking the semaglutide drugs for weight loss and diabetes, and who also experienced a drop in alcohol use.

The university in a statement said it will temporarily withhold degrees from students involved in the "unsanctioned encampment on private property and other conduct violations" while it meets with students accused of misconduct.

Pro-Palestinian protesters had painted messages on the school's Spirit Wall. A video shows contractors painting over it even as students remained in front of it.

The students said they're seeking the university's divestment from companies that profit off Israeli "apartheid," among other demands.
