Clashes between protesters and police on the campus overnight resulted in over a dozen arrests.Those who refused to leave after warnings were arrested and charged with criminal trespass, said university spokesperson Benjamin Johnson, citing rules barring overnight events.

Nevertheless, two police buses were parked nearby and there was a noticeable presence of private security and police at entrances to the campus.'We have our demands; they have theirs,' said Ben Chang, a spokesperson for Columbia University, adding that if the talks fail the university will have to consider other options.Just past midnight, a group of some three dozen pro-Palestinian protesters handed out signs and started chanting outside of the locked Columbia University gates.
