ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Protesters Friday were back in Wallis Hall at the University of Rochester, the same administrative building where a sit-in was held Wednesday.

The protest started just after 4 p.m. The demonstrators had left Wallis Hall before 7 p.m., and Wilson Boulevard was back open Friday night.

The students are calling for the university to cut all ties with Israel as well as calling for a cease-fire in the war in Gaza.

This comes just one day after a possible agreement with the university to clear the encampment by Monday.

Protesters say they went back into what they’re calling “Resilience Hall” Friday, claiming the university negotiated in bad faith.

UR officials say they’re disheartened and disappointed.

Meanwhile, the protests and encampment on campus are concerning for some students News10NBC spoke with Friday.

“As a Jewish and Israeli student, I don’t really feel safe or welcome on this campus. I feel like there has been a lot of escalation and we don’t feel comfortable,” Gil Katz said.

Katz said the protesters on campus have been creating a growing sense of unease.

“It started with flyers that I would consider anti-Semitic in nature, and then it escalated into drawing swastikas in our hallways. and then from there it became protests inside of classrooms and libraries during exam periods,” Katz said.

University leaders say the protest started just after 4 p.m., when students went back into Wallis Hall and took over the lawn outside before leaving around 7 p.m. It’s the same building they took over on Wednesday. News10NBC’s photojournalists on the scene observed some of the protesters outside waving the Palestinian flag and chanting “Free Palestine” through bullhorns.

UR had reached a tentative agreement with them on Wednesday.

But organizers, who declined to speak on camera, say that’s not the case. They claim negotiations with the university failed when the board of trustees voted unanimously against academic divestment from any program, study-abroad or scholarships with ties to Israel. UR officials say there was no meeting and no vote.

Demands from the protesters include:

— That the university release a formal statement calling for a cease-fire in Gaza

— Academic divestment from any program, study-abroad or scholarships with ties to Israel

— Lifting bans on any students who were banned from campus as a result of protest involvement

— Assuring students they will not face consequences for their actions

Some students, like Jade Selch, saw the protests are just a way of students exercising their First Amendment rights.

“I think, you know, the university should start meeting more demands — you know, un-ban the students who were locked out of various locations,” Selch said.

But some Jewish students like Hanna Ben Ami say it’s gone too far.

“I support people’s right to protest and free speech, but when it comes at an expense to another group and they are slandering another group’s national origin, I think that’s kind of wrong,” she said.

A UR spokesperson says some protesters are spreading false claims.

The university wants the encampment cleared by Monday.
