WORLD, May 04 (YPA)-  US universities have started to comply with some demands of pro-Palestinian student protesters after several days of sit-ins, according to CNN.

CNN reported that the University of California, Riverside, reached an agreement with the protesters to end their sit-in on Saturday evening.

The agreement includes a commitment from the university administration to transparency and disclosure of investments and academic cooperation programs with external parties.
