Police and the California Highway patrol moved in early Friday morning at UC Santa Cruz to confront pro-Palestinian protesters.
About midnight, Santa Cruz police shut down the roadways by the entrances of the university, where protesters have been camped out since last week.As a result, classes have been online since last week as well, as students and staff have not been able to access classes on campus. Just after 1 a.m., CHP officers started breaking down the encampments, while also trying to communicate to protesters to leave the area peacefully.
The protesters vowed to stay in place until their demands, including calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, are met.In an email to the UC Santa Cruz community this week, Chancellor Cynthia Larive said that blocking the only two ways to drive on and off campus has been "extremely dangerous" and has caused "intentional harm" to many students and staff members who can't get to work, class or access childcare.
