Last week, a group of anti-Israel student activists at California State University took over a campus building while administrators were trapped inside. They caused extensive damage in the process and even allegedly assaulted a few people.
Now, the school president says they are no longer welcome on campus.

Cal State LA chief: Anti-Israel protesters unwelcome on campus after building takeoverThe president of California State University, Los Angeles, said demonstrators protesting against Israel over the war with Hamas in Gaza are no longer welcome on campus after some of them occupied and trashed a building while she was inside.The takeover ended early Thursday without arrests, a school spokesperson said.Protesters barricaded the multistory Student Services Building at 4 p.m. Wednesday with university President Berenecea Johnson Eanes and dozens of other employees inside, said spokesperson Erik Frost Hollins…In a statement Thursday afternoon to the school community, CSULA President Eanes said she has engaged with protesters who have occupied the campus encampment for some 40 days.“I am saddened, and I am angry,” Eanes said. “Campus community: Know that we will recover from this, but also know that I am committed to doing everything we can to ensure this will never be allowed to repeat. I cannot and would not protect anyone who is directly identified as having participated in last night’s illegal activities from being held accountable.”There were no arrests and no injuries were reported, but “assaults” were reported by three employees and one student, according to Eanes. Officials said those were a law enforcement matter.
Take a look at the destruction caused by these students.
A related ‘encampment’ at the school was cleared by police on Monday.
