A pro-Palestinian encampment is shown Tuesday, May 28, 2024, on the campus of Wayne State University in Detroit. The school suspended in-person classes and encouraged staff to work remotely to avoid any problems with the encampment. Police broke up a pro-Palestinian encampment Thursday at Wayne State University in Detroit and arrested eight people after organizers turned down offers to meet with school officials and refused to leave.
“No individual or group is permitted to claim campus property for their own use and deny others access to that property,” Espy said. Television video showed Wayne State and Detroit police in riot gear tearing down fencing and breaking down tents erected May 23 on green space near the undergraduate library.Eight people were arrested: six for trespassing, one for resisting and one for assaulting a police officer, Wayne State spokesperson Matt Lockwood said.
Wayne State has 16,000 undergraduate students but fewer during the summer term. The protesters have demanded that the school divest from weapons manufacturers supplying Israel, provide a full disclosure of investments and cease delegation trips to Israel.
