LOS ANGELES – As hundreds of students gear up for a rally outside the CSU Board of Trustees meeting in Long Beach, tensions are running high amid demands for transparency and action.

Demands for Disclosure and Divestment

Following the establishment of encampments at 11 California State University campuses, students are rallying to demand significant changes. Key among their demands is the disclosure of all university investments and the divestment from Israeli entities. They are also calling for robust support for student activism and an acknowledgment of what they describe as genocide in Israel.

Seeking Negotiation or Resignation

With the rally set to commence at 10 a.m., students are looking towards Chancellor and board of trustees for engagement. However, should negotiations fail to materialize, the students are unequivocal in their call for resignations from those in leadership positions.

In recent times, activism on university campuses has been on the rise, with students across the nation voicing their concerns on various social and political issues.

Conclusion: A Call for Change

As the protest unfolds outside the CSU board meeting, it underscores the importance of student activism and the pressing need for universities to address the concerns of their student body. The outcome of today’s rally could have far-reaching implications for both CSU’s governance and its relationship with its students.
