Of course, we've seen these encampments all over the U.S. and then creeping into canada over the last couple of weeks. But the students have really been demanding universities to divest from direct and indirect investments that support israel. And the latest now is that the university put an off-road and to give him a little bit of an announcement today, saying that it will not cut ties with israel. Universities, but it will explore disclosure of investment south. That notice came out today and the offer, as you came out today, the students have 24 hours to consider this latest offer, which is on a bid to end this encampment.

Now, if students do not accept this offer over the next 24 hours, the university says it will be issuing a trespass notice.
