In spring of 2024, dozens of tents lined the greenspace on Library Mall. A contingent of student activists set up the encampment in solidarity with Gaza, joining a national movement pressuring universities to divest from Israel. The UW-Madison encampment weathered a forceful police invasion and only came to an end when university administrators agreed to strike a deal with student organizers.

But the university hasn’t kept its word, Mac Davido of Students for Justice in Palestine told the Cap Times this week. He joined our News Producer Faye Parks for an overview of what’s happened in the two years since the tents came down.
