"Vanderbilt University: Student Sit-In Ends in Arrests and Suspensions"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Vanderbilt Hustler
After a 22.5-hour sit-in at Vanderbilt University's Kirkland Hall, 27 students protesting the VSG BDS amendment were forcibly removed, with three arrested and 16 suspended. The arrested students face misdemeanor charges, and the Vanderbilt Divest Coalition is seeking support for their bail fund. Confusion surrounds the arrests, as protestors claim they were only peacefully demonstrating. The sit-in followed a demand for the administration to allow a student vote on the VSG Constitution amendment.
