An autonomous group of students have started a Gaza Solidarity Occupation in Westlands calling on the college to disclose their financial investments and divest from zionism.

The solidarity protestors intend to remain inside Dar al-Fayoumi until Sarah Lawrence’s leadership:

█ provides tangible evidence of communication with Commonfund and establishes an urgent timeline for disclosure
█ pledges to protect Arab and Muslim students against harassment
█ commits to amnesty for all those involved in the occupation
█ takes concrete steps to expand student and faculty input into decisions that impact the entire campus.

YONKERS, NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 21, 2024 - On the 411th day of Israel’s genocidal war on the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, members of Sarah Lawrence College’s community occupied Westlands and reclaimed it as Dar al-Fayoumi in memory of six-year-old Wadea al-Fayoumi, a Palestinian-American boy who was stabbed to death by his landlord in Plainfield Township, Illinois on October 14, 2023.

On October 15, 2024, Sarah Lawrence’s Divestment Coalition of Student Groups submitted a revised version of their February 27, 2024 Proposal for Divestment from Israeli State Violence to the Board of Trustees. The Proposal outlined a timeline for divestment with a November 20th deadline for disclosure of the College’s investment portfolio. On November 18, 2024, President Cristle Collins Judd announced over email that the Board’s Investment Committe had “reviewed the proposal and the additional appeal letter submitted on November 16th and affirmed the College’s investment strategy along with its previous conclusion regarding divestment, [sic] and [had] made no recommendations for change.“ Without consulting the rest of the Board, the students, or anyone who is consistently engaged in our campus community, the Investment Committee chose not to disclose or divest.
