Anti-Israel Yale agitators refuse meeting with university trustees before police bust dozens of occupiers

Dozens of anti-Israel agitators who gathered at Yale University’s Beinecke Plaza demanding divestment from weapon manufacturers turned down a chance to meet with school trustees and the chairperson of the campus’ investor responsibility committee on Sunday before they were arrested in a Monday morning raid, according to a university official. Yale authorities spent the weekend attempting to negotiate with the group to no avail.

Campus police returned to the park Monday morning and some of the agitators dispersed voluntarily, the spokesperson said. However, they arrested 47 students who continued to refuse to leave around 6:30 a.m. 'Students who were arrested also will be referred for Yale disciplinary action, which includes a range of sanctions, such as reprimand, probation, or suspension,' the spokesperson said.
