The district attorney's office has not made a decision on what charges will be filed against the protesters.
Stanford University campus police arrested a group of pro-Palestinian protesters, who barricaded themselves inside the president's office, on suspicion of felony burglary charges. The 13 individuals were arrested shortly after 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning after briefly occupying President Richard Saller's office in an act of protest. The campus newspaper, the Daily Stanford, reported that one of the individuals arrested is a student journalist.
Students who participated in the protest were immediately suspended and seniors were notified that they would not be allowed to graduate, according to a statement from the university. In the joint statement, Saller and Stanford University Provost Jenny Martinez condemned the group's actions and said that a safety officer with the campus police was injured during the occupation.
