At roughly 6 a.m. authorities moved onto Polk Place to make arrests following a statement by Interim Chancellor Lee Roberts and Provost Christopher Clemens calling protesters to disband. According to The Daily Tar Heel, 30 protesters were arrested on April 30. The camp was organized by the “Students for Justice in Palestine at the University of North Carolina,” and included students from other universities including Duke University.

Elon University increases amount of fellows for 2024-25 academic year

Next year, Elon University will add 100 spots to its various fellows programs — raising cohort sizes. Elon will accept over 300 fellows across eight programs for the 2024-25 academic year. The Business Fellows program will accept around 60 new fellows, compared to the 52 for the class of 2027 and 40 for the class of 2026. The increase is leaving current fellows worried about what it means for the programs. Kate Rohan, a sophomore in the business fellows program, is concerned about the problems that she feels will come with the larger incoming class cohort.
