I sorted through a bunch of blogs trying to look for photos, and I asked the same question myself. Their demands are listed specifically on their blog here:

It's pretty much all over the place and runs the gamut from tuition stabilization, to fairer labor practices for university employees, budget transparency so students know where tuition is going, forming a committee make sure the university acts in a socially just and responsible way (I'm assuming "responsible" as defined by their own specific politics), severing all financial ties to what they call "war profiteers," gender equality, giving scholarships to Palestinian students, contributing financially to the rebuilding of the University of Gaza, and a bunch of other stuff.
I won't comment on whether or not any of this makes sense. There are plenty of youtube videos where you can hear their speeches first hand and decide for yourself.
