⛺ Encampment Deal at UW-Madison

• As UW-Madison students return to campus, pro-Palestinian protestors are looking at deadlines set between them and the university. Most recently, the university had an Aug. 1 deadline to start looking for a staff member in the Division of Student Affairs whose work will focus on supporting students impacted by war, violence, and displacement. UW fulfilled this deadline and posted the job listing on July 22.
• There are more deadlines laid out for the rest of the year, including UW-Madison inviting at least one Palestinian university student to campus for the next three academic years.
• Student protesters still have concerns over the university’s handling of the encampment, which has led to investigations and sanctions of some students and groups. [Cap Times]

🏢 Development Project Comes to a Halt

• Plans to redevelop the former Madison College site at 33 W. Johnson St. have come to a stop. The historic structure was set to be turned into 126 loft-style housing units with an 11-story hotel next door.
• Middleton-based NCG Hospitality has ended its agreement with Missouri developer Drury Southwest as they were unable to agree on terms. So the downtown hole-in-the-ground eyesore isn’t going anywhere any time soon. [IB Madison]
