Cal Poly Humboldt has closed its campus through Wednesday due to safety concerns after pro-Palestinian protesters barricaded themselves inside Siemens Hall, one of the main buildings on campus. On Monday, several dozen demonstrators took over the building, while another group protested outside. Law enforcement in riot gear responded and a standoff ensued, resulting in at least one demonstrator being injured. Three people were reportedly dragged out of the building, but protesters remained inside after law enforcement cleared the scene. Classes will be held remotely when possible amidst other protests over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza on university campuses across the country.
