The Diag

The Diag (/ˈdaɪ.æɡ/ DY-ag) is a large open space in the middle of the University of Michigan's Central Campus.

Many of the University's most frequented buildings are situated around the Diag, including West Hall, Randall Lab, the Shapiro Undergraduate Library, the Hatcher Graduate Library, and Angell, Mason, Haven, and Tisch Halls, among others.

[1] On April 22, 2024, students set up tents on The Diag, forming a pro-Palestinian encampment, to protest for divestment from Israel.

Counter protests handed out small Israeli flags near the encampment to show support for Israel.

University president Santa Ono claimed that fire hazards were the reason for the clearing.
