On May 7, police raided NYU and carried out mass arrests in response to the university administration’s request to remove student encampments by force. "The university's goal is to quickly issue consequences and punishments with as little pushback as possible, which is why they're doing it so quickly and so covertly."The group has pledged legal support to all students, faculty, or university affiliates involved in the encampments.
Though the police employed severe repression measures, including the use of mace, beatings, and mass arrests, student protesters managed to regroup and keep the protests going by shifting the encampments to other areas of the campus.
