Rutgers University-New Brunswick protesters began taking down their encampment just after 4 p.m. on Thursday.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- A Rutgers University protest encampment was being dismantled on Thursday evening following a 4 p.m. school-imposed deadline to remove tents that have been up for a few days.There was an air of calmness between protesters and counter protesters on the New Brunswick campus after the university warned the demonstrators that anyone remaining at the Voorhees Mall encampment past the deadline would be considered trespassing.
The school said it did agree to review student requests, but added a rally on campus on Thursday morning forced the administration to make the unprecedented decision to postpone final exams on campus.The administration says 28 scheduled exams were disrupted, impacting more than 1,000 students, but will be rescheduled.'They accepted eight of the 10 but not the most important, which is divesting, so that's what we want to do but we also want to respect the campus,' one protester said.
