The University of Houston joins other Texas colleges that have cracked down on recent campus protests.
1 hour agoProtesters gather outside the Harris County Joint Processing Center in Houston following the arrest of two University of Houston students and the dismantling of an on-campus encampment in support of Palestinians on Wednesday.Police were quick to dismantle a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Houston on Wednesday, detaining at least two students in the process, according to university officials.
Around 9 a.m. on Wednesday, campus police took down the barricades and cut up the tarp underneath protesters’ feet. At least two officers were seen with riot shields, videos of the demonstration posted online showed. “Tents and encampments are not permitted on campus grounds in accordance with state statutes,” a spokesperson for the university wrote in a statement. “The group was allowed to continue its protest, in accordance with UH policies.”
Bubbles fluttered out of a tiny machine at one end of the crowd, which was parted in the middle by sheriff’s deputies standing in front of the entrance to the building. One law enforcement officer appeared to photograph the crowd from the end of the block.
