The University of Michigan confirmed that police cleared an encampment of anti-Israel protesters from the Central Campus on Tuesday morning.
An anti-Israel protest encampment at the University of Michigan was removed from campus by police early Tuesday, a public safety official confirmed to Fox News Digital. Officers with the university’s public safety department began clearing the encampment just before 6 a.m. on the Central Campus, Melissa Overton, public information officer for the University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The encampment posed safety risks, both to participants and the community at large, and its presence was in violation of multiple policies and regulations,' Overton said. 'Its removal was important to help maintain the safety and security of the U-M campus community.' It was not immediately clear whether any of the protesters were arrested.
The disregard for safety directives was the latest in a series of troubling events centered on the encampment,' Mastony said in the statement. 'Individuals will continue to be welcome to protest as they always have at the University of Michigan, so long as those protests do not infringe on the rights of others, endanger our community, violate the law or disrupt university operations.
While many of the encampments have been broken up by police, or as part of an agreement between the university and protesters, agitators have continued to disrupt commencement ceremonies.
