Student protests against the Israel-Hamas war spread to college campuses throughout Colorado this week as a solidarity encampment at Denver’s Auraria Higher Education Campus entered its seventh day. Demonstrations at the University of Colorado Boulder, University of Denver, Colorado State University, University of Northern Colorado and Colorado College called for a cease-fire and for campus leaders to divest from activities and funding related to Israel. Metropolitan State University and CU Denver student organizers met with Auraria officials Tuesday “to try to achieve an amicable path forward,” the campus said in a news release. “(Students for a Democratic Society) leaders indicated that they are engaging in ‘civil disobedience;’ they recognize that they are in violation of the campus no-camping policy; and they have no intention of removing the tents until their demands are met,” Auraria officials said in a statement. Auraria and Denver police arrested 44 demonstrators Friday for violating the campus camping policy after an hours-long clash between riot-gear-clad officers and student, faculty and community protesters. Campus leaders are trying to portray students as unreasonable and uncompromising, said student organizer Harriet Falconetti. “We are being uncompromising, but that’s because we don’t want to compromise on genocide,” Falconetti said.

This week, Readers Take Denver announced its 2025 edition was canceled. “I’ve been to many conferences and this, by far, was the worst one I’ve ever been to,” said Sarah Slusarczyk, a 32-year-old who traveled from Michigan.

Dear Amy: I grew up in the same town as “Carly,” the woman I later married. Her older sister “Susan” and I were in the same class in high school. Susan and I were friendly in high school, but I wouldn’t say we were exactly friends. It was a small school.
