Yale College withdrew Yalies4Palestine’s status as a registered student group, citing the organization’s role in promoting a Tuesday night
protest on Beinecke Plaza.
Yalies4Palestine said Tuesday night that it was not responsible for the protest, which began around 8 p.m. and dispersed before 11:30 p.m. However, in a University press release Wednesday afternoon, the University cited social media posts the group made calling for people to join the event, and a public statement allegedly “
taking credit.” In the announcement, Yale acknowledged that the gathering was not affiliated with Yalies4Palestine or any official student organization.
In one Instagram Reel post, Yalies4Palestine captioned a video of the protest with the all-caps words “Repost! Share! Join the students!” The group posted several videos of the crowd, which erected tents and announced their intention to stay on Beinecke Plaza overnight before ultimately dispersing after administrative warnings. It posted a video with the caption “HAPPENING NOW YALE STUDENTS RELAUNCH ENCAMPMENTS,” and co-posted several videos with similar captions.
