.@uwmadison Professor Samer Alatout is back at the protest. He said he was detained and cited and police inflicted the gash on his head. He said police are “singling out” people of color. “I saw the police pointing at me and saying ‘we want him,’” Alatout told me.

I’m at Bascom Hall, where many @UWMadison pro-Palestine faculty members and staff have walked out in protest of police action against the encampment last Wednesday. Currently, crowd is chanting “disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest.”

Eight months ago, I decided to interview reporters at every non-Madison UW student newspaper. What I found: dedication, deep connections to campus struggles and hopes for how they can change a struggling journalism industry. dailycardinal.com/article/2024/0… signing off, @dailycardinal
