Columbia protest escalates with campus building takeover - BBC News | Columbia protest escalates with campus building takeover - BBC News |
(32 minutes later) | |
Pro-Palestinian protesters had occupied a major administrative building at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, for the past week, forcing the small campus north of San Francisco to close until 10 May. | |
But overnight, local law enforcement moved in to clear their encampment, making about 35 arrests. | |
The charges range from vandalism to unlawful assembly, with disciplinary action likely to follow for student participants. | |
In a statement on its website, the university said it had made "repeated efforts" to resolve the protest. | |
"What was occurring was not free expression or a protest. It was criminal activity, and there were serious concerns it would spread even further on campus." | |
University president Tom Jackson Jr said: “This is a difficult day, it breaks my heart to see it, and truly nobody wanted to see things come to this." | |
