A university spokesperson said he had no further updates. He did not immediately respond to a query to confirm the arrests. A woman who answered the phone for the university police said she had no information to give out beyond the earlier notification. Merlin Van Alstein, an organiser with the group, earlier said about 30 protesters occupied Morrill Hall, with a larger group gathered outside.
Video posted online showed chairs stacked in front of an exterior door of the building, in an apparent barricade.
