[Plsfaculty] FW: For Awareness: Planned Student Walkout on Thursday

Thu Nov 9 12:29:08 MST 2023

I wanted to remind you of this event happening today, since it is planned to occur at and around Old Main.  It’s difficult to predict what might happen.  The Forbes Building will be open, but I would recommend you remain alert at all times this afternoon.  If you encounter anything that concerns you, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Dear Colleagues,

I want to make you aware of an event planned for Thursday afternoon that could disrupt some classes on the main campus.

As part of a larger effort across the nation, a Walkout for Palestine event is planned at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. As the name indicates, the event encourages students to walk out of class, and then to participate in a rally at Old Main followed by a march. Faculty should feel free to follow their normal attendance guidelines for students who choose to leave or miss class.

The University has a long history of embracing and protecting free speech and expression, and we encourage our students (and the broader community) to make their voices heard peacefully and civilly.

Finally, be assured that the Office of Public Safety, including the University of Arizona Police Department, is aware of and prepared for the event.

Sincerely,

Ronald W. Marx
Interim Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
The University of Arizona
