Demonstrators had occupied two buildings on campus since last week and refused to leave.
ARCATA – Dozens of people have been arrested and the occupation of several buildings at Cal Poly Humboldt is now over, school officials announced Tuesday. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators had occupied two buildings on campus since last week and refused to leave. On Monday, Cal Poly Humboldt officials posted a message on the school's website urging to protesters to leave peacefully now. A hard closure of the campus was implemented through May 10, with classes moving to remote work.
The college had posted other messages early Tuesday morning warning that there was an 'increased level of criminal activity on campus,' telling students living in residence halls to shelter in place. 'By restoring order, we've sent a clear message that the criminal and dangerous activities we experienced were not peaceful protests, but outright criminal behavior, which is unacceptable,' Sheriff Honsal said.
