Other universities like Brown, Northwestern, and \u2062the University of \u200dWisconsin,\u200c Milwaukee, also resolved similar protests\u200b through\u200b negotiations, with some calling for a ceasefire\u200c in Gaza.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/harvard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Harvard University<\/a> came to an agreement with its encamped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/campus-protests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>pro-Palestinian protesters<\/a> on Tuesday, negotiating the end to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>encampment<\/a> with some concessions to the agitators.<\/p>\n<p>The end to the encampment came as organizers of Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine successfully negotiated the reinstatement of at least 22 students from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anheuser-busch-puts-two-executives-on-leave-amid-bud-light-boycott\/\" title=\"Anheuser-Busch Puts Two Executives on Leave Amid Bud Light Boycott\">involuntary leave<\/a> for their participation.

HOOP cited \u201cprecedents of leniency for similar actions in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HOOP members were also granted a meeting with Garber and Hopi E.
