The number of tents standing in the encampment exceeds 40 — the highest number yet.</span></p>
  40. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protest organizers met with UW administrators Saturday to continue negotiations.

  42. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While administrators recognized student concerns with law enforcement, they said removing UWPD from campus was “not an option.” But, campus leaders agreed to ask UWPD to avoid taking action on the encampment while negotiations were underway.</span></p>

  162. <p>Student negotiators met this afternoon with Provost Charles Isbell, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs John Zumbrunnen and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor. Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin was not present at the meeting. Negotiations are set to continue, and administrators guaranteed no police action would be taken while they remain underway.</p>
  163. <p>One organizer said the administrators acknowledged the presence of counter-protesters over the past few days, and commended the organizers&#8217; de-escalation of such situations. The disclosure of UW Foundation&#8217;s investments remains a topic of discussion for future negotiations.</p>
  164. <p>The organizer also said there was discussion about the demand to remove police presence from campus, but the UW administrators said they were not prepared to answer this question. The organizer emphasized this is not a new demand, and said it has been advocated for by students of color since before 2020.</p>

  213. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Palestinian community members discussed how the war in Gaza has impacted their lives in a community panel discussion Friday. University of Wisconsin professor of educational policy studies Nancy Kendall introduced the panel. </span></p>
  214. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our goal in organizing this event is to provide a space where we can listen carefully and respectfully to a set of diverse and particular perspectives about the experience of being Palestinian,” Kendall said. </span></p>
  215. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Educational events regarding the war should be organized to support community learning and engagement, Kendall said. </span></p>
  216. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One panel speaker, who asked to be referred to as OA, shared a story from their childhood in Palestine. OA said they once came into contact with Israeli soldiers as a child. </span></p>
  217. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was a day that was shiny, beautiful — I was trying to play and have fun with my friends, and all of a sudden, in a matter of seconds it transported me to something like a nightmare,” OA said. </span></p>
  218. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OA added that they were in third grade during the </span><a href="https://www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1652605"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Feb. 25, 1994 in which an Israeli-American doctor from New York attacked hundreds of Palestinians while they prayed. </span></p>
  219. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Due to this, OA said their village was shut down for months. Palestinians were essentially locked at home — only able to leave their homes for one hour a week in order to get groceries.</span></p>
  220. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another speaker said they grew up as a Palestinian refugee in Jordan. Their grandparents were forcefully expelled and taken hostage in 1948 by Israeli settlers. </span></p>
  221. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My grandpa spent two years in what he described as ‘literal hell,’” the speaker said. “His wife — my grandma — had no idea if he was alive or dead. She was by herself in a tent.”</span></p>
  222. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The speaker said their grandparents’ experiences created intergenerational trauma. But, Palestinians are incredibly resilient, and many families have built their lives from the ground up despite starting with limited resources, the speaker said. </span></p>
  223. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Palestinians who are born as refugees often grapple with a confusing sense of identity, another speaker said. </span></p>
  224. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You’re born into exile,” the speaker said. “It’s a weird thing — Palestinians have no roots, we’re just floating around the world.”</span></p>
  225. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The speaker said that after 30 years of attempting to return, one of their family members finally revisited Palestine. They discovered that their childhood home — which they constructed by hand — was now occupied by an Israeli family.</span></p>
  226. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Palestinians encounter challenges through discrimination and prejudgments in every aspect of life, so they must work harder to succeed in a world that operates against them, one speaker said. </span></p>
  227. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It&#8217;s so scary to say you&#8217;re Palestinian, especially in the U.S., because the media paints a very specific crafted narrative about us,” the speaker said. “We we are still people — I don&#8217;t think you ever meet anyone who is more proud of where they are from than a Palestinian.”</span></p>

  250. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In an electrifying finale to the 2024 New Zealand Swimming Championships, Taiko Torepe-Ormsby etched his name in the annals of swimming history by becoming the first-ever man from New Zealand to breach the elusive 22-second mark in the men’s 50m freestyle.</span></p>
  251. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The atmosphere at the Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre was charged with anticipation as Torepe-Ormsby, a 22-year-old athlete hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, stepped up to the starting block for the heats of the 50m freestyle. In a display of sheer speed and determination, Torepe-Ormsby unleashed a blistering swim, clocking in at a staggering <a href="https://au.swimify.com/competitions/2024-apollo-projects-new-zealand-swimming-championships-2024-04-09/events/summary/9/69">21.86 seconds</a>, securing the top seed in the process.</span></p>
  252. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated. Torepe-Ormsby’s groundbreaking swim marked a watershed moment in New Zealand swimming history. His remarkable feat not only propelled him to the forefront of the national swimming scene but positioned him as a formidable contender on the international stage.</span></p>
  253. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michael Pickett and Cameron Gray, formidable competitors in their own right, clinched the 2nd and 3rd seeds respectively, with times of <a href="https://au.swimify.com/competitions/2024-apollo-projects-new-zealand-swimming-championships-2024-04-09/swimmers/clubs/2/competitor/22">22.19</a> and <a href="https://au.swimify.com/competitions/2024-apollo-projects-new-zealand-swimming-championships-2024-04-09/swimmers/clubs/4/competitor/128">22.34</a> seconds. But, it was Torepe-Ormsby who stole the spotlight with his unprecedented performance, leaving spectators and fellow athletes alike in awe of his extraordinary talent and determination.</span></p>
  254. <p>“I’m lost for words to be honest, I’ve dreamed about this moment for my whole life,&#8221; Torepe-Ormsby told <a href="https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2024/04/paris-olympics-2024-taiko-torepe-ormsby-becomes-first-kiwi-to-swim-50m-freestyle-in-under-22-seconds.html">Newshub post-game</a>.</p>

Torepe-Ormsby&#8217;s commitment to his craft has propelled him to new heights, culminating in this momentous breakthrough.</span></p>
  282. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite his exceptional showing in the heats, Torepe-Ormsby faced the ultimate test in the final showdown. Though he clocked a slightly slower time of <a href="https://au.swimify.com/competitions/2024-apollo-projects-new-zealand-swimming-championships-2024-04-09/swimmers/clubs/17/competitor/101">22.08 seconds</a>, his earlier performance in the heats proved to be a triumphant display of skill and determination, successfully surpassing the <a href="https://www.worldaquatics.com/competitions/paris-2024-swimming-info">World Aquatics Olympic Qualification Time</a> of 21.96 needed for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.</span></p>

Additionally, Torepe-Ormsby showcased his prowess at the Big Ten Championships, clinching the <a href="https://uwbadgers.com/sports/mens-swimming-and-diving/roster/taiko-torepe-ormsby/12384">50yd freestyle in 18.76</a> seconds and securing runner-up status in the 100yd freestyle with a time of <a href="https://uwbadgers.com/news/2024/3/3/mens-swimming-diving-torepe-ormsby-garners-silver-on-last-day-of-big-tens.aspx">42.10 seconds</a>.</span></p>
  285. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Torepe-Ormsby basks in the glory of his historic achievement, he remains steadfast in his pursuit of excellence. With the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on the horizon, Torepe-Ormsby&#8217;s sights are set on even greater triumphs, as he continues to inspire a new generation of swimmers and cement his legacy as one of New Zealand&#8217;s finest athletes.</span></p>
  286. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Torepe-Ormsby, the journey has only just begun and the world eagerly awaits the next chapter in his extraordinary story. In the wake of his historic achievement, Torepe-Ormsby stands as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring athletes across New Zealand and beyond.

With Olympic glory in mind, there is no doubt Torepe-Ormsby will stop at nothing to achieve his dreams and etch his name in the annals of sporting history once more.</span></p>

  314. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to this year’s County Health Rankings and Roadmaps’ <a href="https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/sites/default/files/media/document/2024%20CHRR%20National%20Findings%20Report.pdf">National Findings Report</a>, communities with well-resourced civic infrastructure and accessible information environments tend to have better health outcomes.</p>
  315. <p><a href="https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/about-us">CHR&amp;R</a> is a University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute program that highlights the differences in health between and within communities. The program provides <a href="https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/strategies-and-solutions/what-works-for-health/curated-strategy-lists/about-the-civic-health-curated-strategy-list#:~:text=People%20are%20healthier%2C%20more%20connected%20and%20have,the%20community%2C%20such%20as%20volunteering%20or%20voting.5%2C6.">strategies</a> and resources to support communities in implementing evidence-based solutions that address core structural health barriers.</p>
  316. <p>In this year’s national report, CHR&amp;R concentrated on civic health, which specifically focuses on the relationship between civic participation and health and considers the opportunities people have to participate in their communities. Civic health also involves civic infrastructures which are the structures that promote or prevent civic engagement.</p>
  317. <p>Included in the report were three key findings. The counties with well-resourced civic spaces such as community centers, schools and parks demonstrate high community engagement in decision-making processes and social connections. Regions in the country that enforce structural barriers to civic health, such as restrictive voting laws, tend to lack the civic infrastructure and means to engage in issues affecting community health. These areas are often those with a history of structural racism and disinvestment. And areas with accessible information environments such as the internet and libraries offer more economic and social opportunities for positive health outcomes.</p>

  344. <p><a href="https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/health-data/wisconsin?year=2024">Wisconsin county health data</a> reflects similar findings. The corridor of counties in Southern Wisconsin — Iowa, Dane, Jefferson, Columbia, Washington and Waukesha — are among those with the best health outcomes in the state. Counties with lower life expectancy and worse health outcomes include Milwaukee, Menominee and Forrest. UW community and environmental sociology assistant professor Malia Jones pointed out how the patterns refute common perceptions of rural versus urban health.</p>
  345. <p>“If you look at Wisconsin, our most urban place, Milwaukee, and our most rural places are doing equally poorly compared to suburbs, and there are structural reasons for that,” Jones said.</p>
  346. <p>Milwaukee has a history of being among the most segregated cities in the country, Jones said, noting that even to this day, the vast majority of people who are Black and Latino in Wisconsin live in Milwaukee County. It’s important to consider the extent to which Milwaukee County residents are civically engaged and represented in local and state governments.</p>
  347. <p>The CHR&amp;R Report provides evidence-based actions communities can take to enable people to participate, connect and stay informed about civic life. Recommendations center around youth civics education, public libraries, broadband initiatives to expand access to high-speed internet and participatory budgeting, which allows community members to determine public spending.</p>
  348. <p>Jones said in addition to releasing a yearly county health ranking report, CHR&amp;R provides a <a href="https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/strategies-and-solutions/what-works-for-health">What Works for Health</a> database which offers evidence-based strategies to help improve specific community health outcomes.</p>

  372. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After watching teams poach the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team’s best players for the first month and change of portal action, head coach Greg Gard had a response Thursday — <a href="https://twitter.com/johntonje1/status/1786063998820954141">reeling</a> in the former University of Missouri basketball player John Tonje.</span></p>
  373. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s the third member of a quickly-assembled 2024 transfer class for Wisconsin, joining Camren Hunter and Xavier Amos as newcomers — each of whom have committed in the past four days.</span></p>
  374. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tonje’s pledge came as a shock to many, as he previously intended to play for the University of New Mexico this upcoming season. The Badgers had no reported connections to the grad transfer prior to his de-commitment from the Lobos.</span></p>
  375. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tonje only played in eight games (four starts) in 2023-24 — his only season with the Tigers — as his year was cut short due to an off-season foot injury he never healed from. He averaged <a href="https://mutigers.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/#individual">2.6 points</a> in 9.8 minutes per contest.</span></p>
  376. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While it’s unclear if the injury was the reason behind his limited role, he drew </span><a href="https://x.com/BenArnetKOMU/status/1747386498419241422"><span style="font-weight: 400;">praise</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from Missouri head coach Dennis Gates over the summer and was primed to be a major contributor for the Tigers. Of course, that never came to fruition.</span></p>

  403. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead, UW fans who wish to learn more about the grad transfer will have to fire up his 2022-23 tape. He spent his first four seasons with Colorado State, capping off his Rams career with a 33-start campaign, with <a href="https://csurams.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats/2022-23">averages</a> of 14.6 points and 4.7 rebounds on 47/39/82 shooting splits.</span></p>
  404. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s a solid defender who can attack off the dribble and is tough to stop once he gets downhill. With the Rams, he frequently ran off screens for drawn-up 3-point looks and excelled in spot-up shots.</span></p>
  405. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tonje can score at all three levels and has a deep bag when it comes to finishing moves. Though he shouldn’t be relied upon as a primary ball-handler, he’s comfortable with the ball in his hands and can consistently get to his spots.</span></p>
  406. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At <a href="https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4593043/john-tonje">6-foot-6</a>, Tonje should fill some of the gaps left behind by guard AJ Storr’s departure. He’s a plus athlete with a strong offensive game. While he shouldn’t be expected to step into a role as prominent as Storr’s, Tonje’s basketball IQ, 3-point prowess and 215-pound frame will provide value for a Badger squad that was in desperate need for a two-way wing.</span></p>
  407. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Entering his sixth season of collegiate hoops, Tonje becomes the eldest player on a Badger team that’s gotten significantly younger this offseason and should be an immediate impact player for Gard.</span></p>
  408. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following Tonje’s arrival, the Badgers will have filled 14 of the possible 15 roster spots for 2024-25. But, Gard and company have still been active in the portal in recent days, so Badger faithful shouldn’t rule out another transfer addition.</span></p>

  430. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those staying in Madison over the summer, there are plenty of ways to get involved with the greater Madison community. Especially by volunteering at one of these Madison staples.</span></p>
  431. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re looking to enjoy the outdoors this summer, this is the place for you!</span></p>
  432. <p><a href="https://dcfm.org/volunteer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dane County Farmers’ Market</span></a></p>
  433. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The farmers’ market accepts anyone from market aficionados to those new to the Saturday morning tradition. Per the website, volunteers will “spend their time answer­ing ques­tions and ensur­ing a pos­i­tive mar­ket expe­ri­ence for all cus­tomers.” There are also opportunities for volunteers to interact with the market’s Electronic Benefit Transfer and Double Dollars programs, to make sure everyone is able to participate in the market. All volunteers will be trained, and there is no requirement for the number of shifts worked!</span></p>
  434. <p><a href="https://www.foodpantrygardens.org/volunteer.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens</span></a></p>
  435. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These gardens provide fresh food for local food pantries. They are largely driven by volunteers and are always looking for people to come out and help. There are 10 gardens throughout the county, all producing different arrangements of foods, so anyone could find something to interest them. To sign up as a volunteer, check the garden calendar listed on their website. There is no age limit or supplies requirement, all you have to do is check the calendar and complete their waiver.</span></p>

  463. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The zoo offers many roles, from becoming the lion mascot — or handling the current mascot — to greeting newcomers as they enter the zoo. Their website states you will apply for one “base role” and then have the chance to pick up training for new positions. As long as you’re properly trained, they would love to have you.</span></p>
  464. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though their volunteering slots are completely full for summer-long positions, you can still join their interest list to potentially be picked up for one-time opportunities.</span></p>
  465. <p><a href="https://arboretum.wisc.edu/get-involved/volunteer/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The UW–Madison Arboretum</span></a></p>
  466. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Arboretum is also a great place to get outdoors. Interested volunteers can sign up for a range of activities from removing invasive plants, to burn unit preparation or sustainable garden practices and shrub removal, there are plant-related events for everyone. Even working the front desk, for those who would rather stay in the shade. To join in, simply pick a volunteer position listed on their website and fill out the form or email the staff listed.</span></p>

  468. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those passionate about lakes and the bodies of water we are surrounded by, the Clean Lakes Alliance is always looking for volunteers. They are currently promoting support for the Loop the Lake bike ride happening June 15, but there are other opportunities listed on their page. You can work with the administration or on watershed-related projects working to restore the shoreline! There is an email provided to join an update list for news on opportunities throughout the summer.</span></p>
  469. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those who would like more information on volunteer opportunities throughout the summer or for those who prefer to stay indoors to volunteer, there are many more opportunities listed on the </span><a href="https://morgridge.wisc.edu/volunteer-resources-and-opportunities/volunteer-opportunities/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Morgridge Center for Public Service website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

  521. <p><strong>9:41 p.m.</strong></p>
  522. <p>Demonstrators have begun reading poetry in support of Palestine. The Badger Herald will continue reporting on the Library Mall encampment demonstration at 7 a.m.</p>
  523. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  524. <p><strong>9:35 p.m.</strong></p>
  525. <p>One song being sung by demonstrators is called &#8220;Sawf Nabqa Houna,&#8221; which translates to &#8220;We will stay here.&#8221; The demonstrators said they were inspired to sing the song in honor of the doctors working tirelessly to support those in Gaza.</p>
  526. <p>Event organizers said they were also inspired by the dedicated journalists documenting the war in Gaza. Videos of doctors and journalists singing &#8220;Sawf Nabqa Houna&#8221; have been posted online.</p>
  527. <p>“We&#8217;ve seen videos coming out of them singing this very song, which is very inspirational to see their resilience and so we wanted to bring that here,” one organizer said.</p>
  528. <p>— <em>Reported by Digital News Editor Sami Bitat.</em></p>
  529. <p><strong>9:31 p.m.</strong></p>
  530. <p>A group of demonstrators has begun singing Arabic songs in solidarity with those in Gaza.</p>
  531. <p>— <em>Reported by Digital News Editor Brianna Davis.</em></p>
  532. <p><strong>9:15 p.m.</strong></p>
  533. <p>As protesters prepare to stay for the fifth straight night, there are over 35 tents on Library Mall — more than were standing when law enforcement removed tents Wednesday morning.</p>
  534. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  535. <p><strong>8:18 p.m.</strong></p>
  536. <p>The sunset prayer, Maghrib, has begun. Other protesters are surrounding those praying to block potential interruption and interference.</p>
  537. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  538. <p><strong>7:42 p.m.</strong></p>
  539. <p>SJP UW–Madison and the Madison chapter of Jewish Voices for Peace hosted a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6gmEotr1r3/">Liberation Shabbat</a> with over 100 people. During the service, Jewish participants recited prayers and sang in Hebrew, displaying solidarity with those in Gaza.</p>
  540. <p>“Our [Jewish] tradition teaches us that while we were still enslaved, the first step toward our collective freedom was to demand that we will be allowed to rest on Shabbat,&#8221; the speaker said. &#8220;In that sense, every Shabbat is a gateway to liberation.”</p>
  541. <p>One speaker said the pro-Palestinian protests across the country are not to be confused with antisemitism.</p>
  542. <p>“With the protesters on North American soils &#8230; we reject the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism,” the speaker said.</p>

  569. <p>In response to the presence of College Republicans and Wisconsin Young Americans for Freedom on Library Mall, a Students for Justice in Palestine organizer referenced the encampment&#8217;s community guidelines, which ask protesters to not engage with counter-protesters to stay focused on their pro-Palestine cause.</p>

  576. <p>Bottari emphasized the organization wants the protest to remain peaceful. Civil disobedience and peaceful protest are long-held traditions at UW, and an important part of its history, Bottari said.</p>
  577. <p>“We think that these encampments are going to be on the right side of history and, eventually, UW will take pride in it in the same way they take pride in the Vietnam war protests,” Bottari said.</p>

  580. <p>Prominent Muslim leader and Palestinian refugee from Milwaukee Sheikh Rami spoke to hundreds of protesters at the pro-Palestinian encampment on Library Mall.</p>
  581. <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s my honor to be here amongst you all today,&#8221; Sheikh Rami said. &#8220;These places are places of peace and love.”</p>
  582. <p>Sheikh Rami called upon people from different religious backgrounds to speak out the war in Gaza. He added that students have a right to know where their university is invested, and how funding may be tied to genocide and other human rights violations.</p>
  583. <p>UW administration should be proud of the students demonstrating and university leaders should meet with students ready to listen to their demands, Sheikh Rami said.</p>
  584. <p>“One day we will look back at this moment and we will realize that the student movement that started from Columbia University and that has spread throughout the United States … will be looked upon as being on the right side of history as well,” Sheikh Rami said.</p>

  611. <p>Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs John Zumbrunnen, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor and Provost Charles Isbell sent a statement to student protest organizers Friday afternoon, asking organizers to meet Saturday at noon for &#8220;continued dialogue.&#8221;</p>
  612. <p>&#8220;We believe that today’s meeting ended productively, and that it makes sense for us to continue engaging with each other,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;At this point, we have not made any commitments in relation to your concerns or demands, and you have not made any concessions.&#8221;</p>
  613. <p>In the statement, administrators asked protest organizers to notify them by 9 a.m. Saturday if they planned to meet at noon.</p>
  614. <p>— <em>Reported by Editor-in-Chief Celia Hiorns.</em></p>
  615. <p><strong>6:20 p.m.</strong></p>
  616. <p>Young Americans for Freedom president Harrison Wells said he hoped the &#8220;Party in the USA&#8221; gathering would demonstrate students can communicate their viewpoints by protesting within the bounds of the law. Wells expressed frustration over the encampment.</p>
  617. <p>“If you’re breaking the law and you’re breaking school policy as a registered student organization, we just ask that the school enforce their policies evenly to all registered student organizations,” Wells said.</p>

  624. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Sophia Scolman.</em></p>
  625. <p><strong>4:36 p.m.</strong></p>
  626. <p>About 10 counter-protesters arrived on the Historical Society side of Library Mall holding Israeli flags and a sign with a whiteboard, tallying ongoing donations to Israel for every hour the pro-Palestinian encampment continues. At the time of this update, the current donation tally stands at $2,331, according to the sign.</p>
  627. <p>— <em>Reported by Editor-in-Chief Celia Hiorns</em></p>

  629. <p>Away from the encampment demonstration, Palestinian community members are discussing how the war in Gaza has impacted their lives in a community panel discussion at the Educational Sciences Building. UW professor of educational policy studies Nancy Kendall introduced the panel.</p>
  630. <p>“Our goal in organizing this event is to provide a space where we can listen carefully and respectfully to a set of diverse and particular perspectives about the experience of being Palestinian,” Kendall said.</p>

  634. <p>&#8220;We fully acknowledge the complexity of the issues in Israel and Gaza, which is at the heart of the demonstrations, and the suffering that the violence there has caused … The parties must continue their discussions with the aim of peacefully coming to a speedy resolution acceptable to all those involved, as difficult as that might be,” the statement, which was signed by all members of the University Committee, said.</p>
  635. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Sophia Scolman.</em></p>
  636. <p><strong>3:00 p.m.</strong></p>
  637. <p>An organizer gave updates on the hearings that occurred for the four individuals who were booked into the Dane County Jail Wednesday morning. None of the four individuals had a criminal record prior to their arrest, and all will be released by the end of the day Friday.</p>
  638. <p>Three of the individuals were banned from the UW campus. The individual affiliated with UW was banned only from the Library Mall area on campus.</p>
  639. <p>The organizer encouraged protesters to continue calling the Dane County District Attorney&#8217;s Office, asking for the charges made against the four individuals to be dropped.</p>
  640. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  641. <p><strong>1:19 p.m.</strong></p>
  642. <p>About 40 protesters are gathered at the center of Library Mall for the 1 p.m. teach-in, using various percussion instruments and their voices to make music.</p>
  643. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Sophia Scolman.</em></p>
  644. <p><strong>12:48 p.m.</strong></p>
  645. <p>In a <a href="https://twitter.com/aaupmadison/status/1786395879395455382?s=42&amp;t=VkMT688Q0XPuIhVTECkb2A">statement</a> posted to the social media platform X this morning, the executive board of the American Association of University Professors chapter at UW–Madison condemned the use of force by law enforcement Wednesday.</p>
  646. <p>&#8220;These actions are deeply damaging to the University of Wisconsin&#8217;s traditions of open inquiry, debate, and activism, and threaten the free speech rights of all members of the university community,&#8221; AAUP UW–Madison said in the statement.</p>
  647. <p>The organization urged university leadership to reject the use of police force against protesters.</p>
  648. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  649. <p><strong>12:19 p.m.</strong></p>
  650. <p>In an Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6g668erqzs/?img_index=1">post</a>, Students for Justice in Palestine UW–Madison encouraged individuals to call the Dane County District Attorney&#8217;s Office and ask they drop charges made against protesters Wednesday.</p>
  651. <p>— <em>Reported by Managing Editor Cat Carroll.</em></p>
  652. <p><strong>11:22 a.m.</strong></p>
  653. <p>Lead organizers gave an update from their second meeting with representatives from UW&#8217;s administration, including Provost Charles Isbell, Vice Provost John Zumbrunnen and Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Lori Reesor. Mnookin was not present at the 8:30 a.m. meeting.</p>
  654. <p>Professor of community and environmental sociology Samer Alatout, who is Palestinian, joined student negotiators at the meeting. Alatout has advocated for protesters throughout the week, but was among the faculty members arrested and injured during police presence Wednesday morning. Since Wednesday, Alatout has said he felt targeted as a Palestinian professor. This morning, he chose to withdraw from further negotiations until UW administrators issue an apology for detaining faculty of color and thereby perpetuating racist narratives.</p>
  655. <p>The administrators offered to hold a longer negotiation meeting with lawyers present Saturday, but organizers said they feel they cannot negotiate until the UW Foundation discloses its investments. The UW Foundation is a <a href="https://www.supportuw.org/about-us/">private, nonprofit corporation</a> governed by UW alumni that fundraises on behalf of the university.</p>
  656. <p>The administrators also offered to speak over the phone later today, which negotiators agreed to. The organizers again emphasized the demonstration will continue until their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C6Ynun5L2y6/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1">demands</a> are met.</p>
  657. <p>&#8220;What more urgency does she [Mnookin] need to look past her opinions and start fighting for Palestinian students and other students of color?&#8221; an organizer said.</p>

  688. <p>Rothman previously said in a statement Wednesday that the free exchange of ideas through dialogue is a “hallmark” of the UW System. But he expressed his support for police presence to remove tents from university property, which are prohibited under <a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/admin_code/uws/18">Chapter 18 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code</a>.</p>
  689. <p>&#8220;I commend Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin for her reasonableness and resolve, as well as her commitment to free expression and the safety and security of her students,” Rothman said in the statement Wednesday.</p>

  764. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rep. Jake Wesner ran for vice chair. In his speech, Wesner highlighted his experience in budgeting and working with contractual agreements. Wesner also said he would ensure students have access to affordable public transportation.</span></p>
  765. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The committee unanimously nominated Wesner for vice chair and Rep. Rishita Kilaru for secretary.</span></p>
  766. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The committee appointed Aiden Culver as the Student Transportation Board Representative, Shomo as the Union Council Representative and Muaz Salem as the Healthcare Advisory Committee Representative.</span></p>
  767. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wesner nominated Saif Ahmed for Recreation and Wellbeing Board Representative, but Ahmed declined the nomination, so the SSFC will revisit the position’s election in the fall.</span></p>
  768. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, SSFC approved a draft of their 2024-25 calendar. The committee voted to move their meeting time to Mondays and Thursdays at 6 p.m. rather than 6:30 p.m.</span></p>
  769. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SSFC will resume meetings during the fall 2024 semester. </span></p>

  797. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Runway of Dreams UW–Madison held its first fully independent Adaptive Runway Show — which highlights adaptive fashion for people with disabilities — Wednesday evening at UW Hillel on Langdon Street. </span></p>
  798. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The club is a branch of the Runway of Dreams Foundation, which supports the movement for disability inclusion in the fashion and beauty industries, according to Foundation&#8217;s </span><a href="https://www.runwayofdreams.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
  799. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Evening festivities began with UW Jewop A Capella, who sang &#8220;Easy to Love,&#8221; &#8220;Man or Muppet&#8221; and &#8220;Bei Mir.&#8221; At the conclusion of the Jewop performance, Runway of Dreams UW–Madison President Jenna Musoff played a brief documentary about Runway of Dreams while the models left the room to prepare for the runway.</span></p>
  800. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eight models walked the runway, modeling a wardrobe of custom-made clothes from Joe &amp; Bella, Brakefields and Tommy Hilfiger. Adaptations included body shape specific tailoring, subtly placed zippers and magnetic buttons for ease of use, and special side-seam closures for ease of dressing.</span></p>
  801. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People with disabilities are often forced to sacrifice style for comfort and ease of use, and, though the fashion industry has made strides in recent years, it still has a long way to go in addressing this problem, Musoff said.</span></p>

  828. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Broadly, the Adaptive Runway Show helps highlight the demand for adaptive clothing, but it also has a local impact on people with disabilities in the community, Musoff said.</span></p>
  829. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s really about spreading awareness and how we are a fashion revolution and how anyone can wear these clothes and feel special. We want everyone to feel like they can have something that they can wear and feel confident in,” Musoff said.</span></p>
  830. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With adaptations that are nearly undetectable from the exterior the outfits at this year’s Adaptive Runway show did just that, Musoff said.</span></p>
  831. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last year, Runway of Dreams UW–Madison partnered with <a href="https://badgerherald.com/fashion/2024/04/22/one-year-after-launch-the-issue-continues-to-bring-new-perspective-to-campus-media/">The Issue</a>, a campus fashion magazine, to host an adaptive show, but this year marked the first time that the club has been able to organize and carry out the event independently, according to Musoff.</span></p>
  832. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Musoff reached out to several UW disability affiliated organizations to find models for the show including <a href="https://win.wisc.edu/organization/bestbuddies">Best Buddies</a>, <a href="https://kinesiology.education.wisc.edu/academics/certificates/adapted-fitness-and-personal-training/">Adaptive Fitness</a> and <a href="https://win.wisc.edu/organization/bfso">Badgers for Special Olympics</a>. Demand for modeling was high and Musoff said that she regretfully had to turn down several potential models who expressed interest after clothing orders had already been made.</span></p>
  833. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In preparation for the event, models’ measurements were distributed by the Runway of Dreams Foundation to adaptive clothing companies Joe &amp; Bella and Brakefields for tailoring to the models’ fits and adaptive needs, according to Musoff. Shoe retailer Zappos also donated 10 pairs of shoes for the event, Musoff said. The rest of the clothes were provided by donations raised through the club.</span></p>
  834. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the show, model Chrispy Black, who accented his adaptive olive trousers and black polo with wide Lennon shades — in self-described dance club style — said that he hoped these runway shows would happen more often in the future.</span></p>
  835. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think it went pretty well,&#8221; Black said. &#8220;I’ve been to a lot of different fashion shows. This one is really neat. I hope they do it more often,” Black said.</span></p>
