An NYU spokesperson said administrators \u201cnever offered\u201d to disclose the university\u2019s investments, countering recent claims from pro-Palestinian groups on campus <\/span>who have revived calls<\/span><\/a> for disclosure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement comes one day after 13 students and faculty occupied the 12th floor of Bobst Library, outside the offices of President Linda Mills and Provost Georgina Dopico, while dozens more held a sit-in in the library\u2019s main lobby. During the demonstration, organizers from Shut it Down NYU <\/span>posted an audio recording<\/span><\/a> they claimed to be from a negotiations meeting with administrators last semester, during which Executive Vice President Martin Dorph allegedly agreed to release details on NYU\u2019s endowment and its investments. In a press release, the group said the university had since retracted the initial offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose claims are false,\u201d university spokesperson John Beckman said in a statement to WSN. \u201cIt is the height of bad faith to attempt now \u2014 in the midst of ongoing violations of university rules \u2014 to use a surreptitious recording to try to secure a meeting, all while deceptively failing to acknowledge their own role in scuttling those earlier discussions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Beckman said the administrators had proposed that students meet with Dorph, but students elected not to do so. Members of Shut it Down NYU told WSN that last semester, administrators arranged a meeting for students to receive complete documentation of the university\u2019s investment portfolio, but when students refused to evacuate a pro-Palestinian encampment outside the Paulson Center, the meeting was called off. They said administrators did not respond to succeeding emails and did not raise the offer again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eight demonstrators, including two NYU professors, <\/span>were arrested at a pro-Palestinian picket <\/span><\/a>outside the library Thursday afternoon. Dopico and Dean of Students Rafael Rodriguez \u2014 two administrators involved in negotiations with students \u2014 had approached the group and engaged with a few demonstrators. Students at the picket told WSN that Dopico and Rodriguez offered to hold a meeting but did not specify who would be involved or what it would entail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement from Shut it Down NYU later that night, students said Rodriguez told them \u201cpart of what you\u2019re asking for, the university is not going to give\u201d in response to requests for a meeting with Dorph, and did not follow up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the demonstration, Campus Safety head Fountain Walker sent a universitywide email stating that Wednesday\u2019s demonstration led to \u201ctargeted threatening graffiti\u201d and called for students to come forward with any information on those involved for an ongoing investigation. Later that night, Mills also referenced protesters\u2019 actions in a universitywide email, adding that \u201chundreds of complaints came in,\u201d calling them \u201cviolations of the respect and norms we expect of each other in this community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Beckman did not respond to additional requests for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n
