Philadelphia police move in to disband pro-Palestinian encampment on Penn's campus

Police moved in to disband an encampment made up of pro-Palestinian protests at the University of Pennsylvania on Friday, May 10

"Today, the University issued mandatory temporary leaves of absence for six students in accordance with our policies and pending the results of the Center for Community Standards and Accountability disciplinary investigations. These actions are a result of the University’s continuing response to the unauthorized encampment on College Green," the school said in a statement on their site on Thursday.

Three of the students, including the one locked out of her dorm, reacted to the mandatory leaves of absence while speaking with reporters on Thursday.
