120 antiwar protesters arrested at NYU; Calif. students form barricade

"Arrests continued Tuesday at colleges across the country after students refused to end their protests against the Israel-Gaza war, part of a surge of demonstrations and encampments that have exacerbated already tense emotions on campuses.

At the University of Minnesota, police moved in during early-morning hours at the request of the institution, arrested nine people and cleared tents in a grassy expanse in front of the main library. That followed the arrest of 120 protesters at New York University on Monday night, according to the New York Police Department. On the West Coast, California State Polytechnic University at Humboldt went into a lockdown after student protesters barricaded themselves inside a building." MS
