DENVER — Demonstrators on Friday night took down their tents 22 days after they established an encampment on the Auraria Campus to protest Israel's military action in Gaza.
Auraria Campus officials estimate the pro-Palestinian demonstration has cost the campus as much as $290,000. About 80 people have been issued citations for trespassing since the protests began, with half of those leading to arrests. Only 16 of the arrested are enrolled students at the campus, and three more are faculty or staff members, Ashley said during a Thursday briefing.
On Friday, it was announced that all three schools within Denver’s Auraria Campus — University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Community College of Denver — will be switching to remote learning. AHEC officials said all campus buildings will be locked starting Friday at 6 p.m. “until further notice,” adding that all buildings on campus will be restricted to critical personnel and operations. Access to dorms will be badge access only.
Concern over “sanitary and hygiene issues” has grown among Auraria officials as the encampment has grown, Ashley added. She said the campus is in contact with law enforcement as well as city and state officials about its response.
