Despite UC Berkeley striking a deal with pro-Palestinian protesters this week, a group later took over an campus building. Twelve were arrested when police moved in to clear the building.

Even after UC Berkeley officials struck a deal with student leaders of the university's longstanding pro-Palestinian encampment, a group of protesters took over an abandoned building on campus Wednesday, and some were later arrested. The protesters occupied Anna Head Alumnae Hall, a condemned building on campus that they unofficially renamed for a Palestinian child killed this year during Israeli military operations in Gaza.

' 'It is not nonviolent civil disobedience,' Mogulof said, adding that protesters were 'vandalizing an unsafe, boarded-up, fire-damaged building.' University officials tried to draw a distinction between the protesters with whom administrators reached an agreement Tuesday and the group who took over the abandoned building Wednesday.
