USC issued a warning to protesters Saturday, saying the remaining Pro-Palestinian encampment must come down.
According to
student journalists with USC Annenberg Media
, the assistant director of the USC Village Residential Colleges read a letter to demonstrators just after 5 p.m. that read “the encampment has to go down.”
The letter said “the encampment, acts of vandalism and theft of university property violates policies and the law.”
As of Saturday night, it’s unclear when law enforcement will move in.
In another update posted in the same USC Annenberg Media report, at around 10:30 p.m., more than five hours after the warning from the administrator, the encampment remained.
