New Haven and Yale Police moved quickly Tuesday morning to dismantle an anti-Israel encampment that had been erected on university grounds.
Police blocked access to Cross Campus with caution tape and warned that anyone who did not leave the premises by 6:30 a.m. would be subject to arrest and "emergency suspension," according to the Yale Daily News.
"Anyone within the caution tape is going to be arrested," a New Haven police officer told the Yale Daily News. Approximately 60 protesters had formed on the College Street sidewalk and continued to chant as police blocked access to various school entrances. In response, the crowds chanted back, "Chief Campbell, history will remember you with shame," the New Haven Independent reported.
While the response from college administrators has been mixed since the protests gained momentum earlier in this month, Yale has followed up on President Peter Salovey's promise of order.
