3News has confirmed organizers have decided to take the encampment down with the spring semester ending this week, though they vowed their protests would continue.

Tensions have ratcheted up in standoffs with protesters on campuses across the United States and in Europe, with hundreds of arrests made.BOSTON — Police early Friday dismantled a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and moved to clear protesters from University of Pennsylvania’s campus in Philadelphia, just hours after police tear-gassed protesters and took down an encampment at the University of Arizona.

“A structure made from wooden pallets and other debris was erected on campus property after 5 p.m. in violation of the policy,” the school said in a statement. “University officials issued warnings to remove the encampment and disperse. The warnings were ignored.” The move at MIT comes several days after police first attempted to clear the encampment only to see protesters storm past barriers and Before removing the encampment, MIT earlier in the week had started suspending dozens of students involved in the encampment, meaning they wouldn’t be able to take part in academic activities nor commencement.
