The university announced the move Thursday, the day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus. Some colleges around the country have called in police to break up the protests which have prompted fears for the safety of Jewish students.
The Los Angeles Police Department said among those arrested was a person taken into custody for alleged assault with a deadly weapon.
At Emerson College in Boston, 108 people were arrested overnight at an alleyway encampment. Another 93 people were arrested during a Wednesday night protest at the University of Southern California. And new encampments and protests continued to pop up at campuses across the country.
At Emory University in Atlanta, local and state police swept in to dismantle a camp, although the university said the protesters weren't students but rather outside activists. Some officers carried semiautomatic weapons, and video shows officers using a stun gun on one protester who they had pinned to the ground. At least 17 people were detained, handcuffed with zip ties and loaded into a police transport van.
