“Some actions that took place over the weekend violated the student code of conduct and the college’s time, place and manner policies,” a college spokesman told JNS.
An anti-Israel encampment at Occidental College that was created on Friday was taken down on Monday, a spokesman for the highly-ranked, private liberal arts college in Los Angeles told JNS.
The Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace chapters at the college stated that they created the encampment to demand that the school “divest from the Zionist entity.”
Protesters were urging the college’s board to vote on a proposal to divest from companies that conduct business with Israel and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the Occidental, a student paper.
“On Monday morning, the temporary encampment on the quad at Occidental College was dismantled peacefully by student protesters, and the area has been cleaned,” the college spokesman told JNS.
