University of Illinois warns of arrests and suspensions if demonstrators don’t leave encampment
From CNN’s Paradise Afshar
The University of Illinois warned of consequences, including arrests and interim suspensions, for those who are taking part in on-campus demonstrations that began Friday morning.
University police in the afternoon attempted to escort staff into the area to remove the encampment but were prevented from entering by demonstrators, the university said in a statement Friday night. This led officers to make the decision to “deescalate the situation” and step back to “reduce the risk of injury to themselves or the demonstrators.”
“This situation has escalated beyond a peaceful expression of opinion,” the university said. “Those who do not comply with our orders to leave will be subject to consequences, including arrest, when criminal laws are violated, and the possibility of immediate interim suspension for students.”
The university said they will work to convince the demonstrators to disperse voluntarily, and “hope they make that choice.”
“Our community is not responsible for the progression of this conflict, and we do not have the power to end this devastating war no matter how much we wish we could,” the statement said. “We are focused right now on what we can do to keep our entire campus and community as safe as possible in a difficult time.” |
