After U of A closes mall, protesters take down fence
The University of Arizona closed portions of its mall Tuesday, posting "no trespassing" signs, after pro-Palestinian protesters set up what they called an encampment there the day before. That led the protest group to move Tuesday to a site near UA's main gate and next to Arizona State Museum, where they brought in tents and their own fencing and said they planned to spend the night, risking arrest for defying university policies.

"University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins has directed University officials and the University of Arizona Police Department, to immediately enforce campus use policies and all corresponding laws without further warning."
Some hail the new law as protecting campus safety, while others decry it as censoring protesters' voices. Â
