John Jones, president of the college, says they’ve been peaceful and both sides have been in talks regarding demands.

“They’re asking for a number of different things, similar to what other groups have asked for — divestment from the IDF, scholarship and some other Dickinson-centric issues if you will, and our discussion with them has been very productive,” Jones said.

Jones said he’s hopeful a resolution will be reached soon.
