[UPDATE 1:50 P.M.] CAL POLY HUMBOLDT CAMPUS SEALED OFF AMID LAW ENFORCEMENT BUILDUP AND STUDENT PROTESTS

15. UPDATE 3:10 p.m.: The student protesters have issued another statement:

Cal Poly Humboldt Student Response to Admin Escalation We are disappointed to receive an email from campus administration announcing a “hard close” of campus. Allowing only those with permission to enter campus at this time. Anyone on campus is subject to citation or arrest. Police were present at the time the email went out, setting up concrete barriers at all campus entrances. Students living on campus are restricted to their dorms and residential areas. We have and remain to be a peaceful protest. In negotiations with administration yesterday we were given the impression that negotiations would continue however, they have recently informed us that they refuse to negotiate further. We are concerned for the potential of police escalation at this time. We showed good faith in our negotiations and deescalation yesterday by reopening Siemens Hall. Administration has not kept their end of the agreement. We love and care for our community and continue to stand in solidarity with other campuses for a free Palestine. Shame on administration for silencing the free speech of our brave students. We, as ever, are not afraid.
