Wednesday evening, following a protest this afternoon on North Campus, approximately 16 individuals — including some students and other individuals not affiliated with UB — were arrested.

Protestors removed tents after they were advised of UB policy prohibiting indoor and outdoor encampments. University Police and Student Life have also informed protestors that they need to disperse by dusk and no overnight assemblies are allowed.  

UB recognizes and respects students’ right to protest, and expects that protests occur lawfully in public spaces.
