USC has been the subject of student protests over the war in Gaza and the administration’s decision to cancel a commencement speech by a Muslim student who had expressed support for Palestinians.
Protesters left a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Southern California early Sunday after they were surrounded by police and told they could face arrest if they didn’t go.
The encampment 'was spiraling in a dangerous direction,' USC president Carol L. Folt said Sunday, that included 'outside agitators' assaulting officers. The claim was disputed.
