Tensions arising from an anti-Israel encampment at Wayne State University in Detroit forced the school to announce on Tuesday that classes would be held remotely until further notice. Protesters set up the encampment on campus last week to demand the university’s divestment from the Jewish state.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the university but did not immediately hear back. Matt Lockwood, the university's associate vice president of communications, told the Detroit Free Press over the weekend that the fire marshal was concerned over the accumulation of combustible materials. Lockwood also said that some walkways near the encampment have been blocked and that 'there are a small number of occupants that have challenged public safety.
All on-campus events were also canceled until further notice, the school said.
