Chancellor Mark Mone of UW-Milwaukee has issued a statement urging protesters on campus to dismantle their encampments.
While expressing support for the right to protest, Mone stressed that the university cannot permit unlawful encampments to persist.
He cautioned that if the situation persists, the university will be compelled to take necessary measures.
Mone also addressed certain demands made by the protesters, indicating that some requests, such as full divestment and the removal of campus police, are legally unattainable for the institution.
The encampments have been in place since last Monday.
