Student sit-in at Duke University building ends
A statement from Duke Students & Workers in Solidarity said the nine students moved out of the reception area outside the office of school President Richard Brodhead that they took over on April 1.
The school banned the protesters from the building balcony, saying their amnesty from disciplinary action doesn't extend to that area.
Trask, who was involved in a dispute with a contract parking attendant who says he used a racial slur, issued a public apology this week.
The steering committee that Brodhead offered to establish would consider several issues, including hiring an independent expert to review the school's grievance and complaint procedures and to increase the minimum wage to $12 an hour.
About 80 students staged a sit-in Thursday night at the administration building at Appalachian State University to protest North Carolina's new transgender law, WSOC-TV reported.
