UC Berkeley professor ends his sit-in protest
UC Berkeley professor Ron Hassner has left the building. Two weeks after starting a round-the-clock vigil in his office, Hassner announced Thursday that he was ending his sit-in protest and getting ready to head home. His intent was to call attention to antisemitism on campus and pressure the university to address it forcefully, and on both counts he said he achieved his goals.
