Sixteen students protesting as part of the Vanderbilt Divest Coalition were suspended on March 26 during the sit-in in Kirkland Hall. This morning, the other 11 students were suspended, resulting in all 27 undergraduate protestors being restricted access to campus. 

These suspensions come as a result of a sit-in in Kirkland Hall on March 26, which began at 9 a.m. CDT that day and concluded with all students being forcibly removed at around 6:34 a.m. CDT the next morning. 

Suspended students reported being told by Student Accountability they had to evacuate campus by 5 p.m. CDT today. Anonymous suspended protestors shared that they were all sent notices of individual preliminary hearings for their interim suspensions, which begin on March 28. These protestors are being kept anonymous for protection from retribution.
