UB took proative measures, including building and road closures, to ensure the safety of the university community and to protect university operations.

UB leaders stressed the protest must be peaceful and follow UB and SUNY rules and policies.

UB President Satish K. Tripathi emailed the campus community Thursday afternoon with a statement regarding Wednesday's protests.

The university believes that individuals with no known affiliation with the university led the effort to set up an encampment.

Wednesday evening, following a protest this afternoon on North Campus, 15 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.
