Police officers arrested 13 pro-Palestinian protesters on Wednesday who had barricaded themselves in the office of the president of Stanford University and demanded that administrators meet several demands, including a vote by the university trustees on whether to divest from companies that are said to support Israel's military.
The protesters had entered the building around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, and university police officers arrived at the scene after they were alerted of the occupation, according to Ms. Mostofi.
The building houses the offices of the university’s president, Richard Saller, and provost, Jenny Martinez, among others.
Wednesday is the final day of classes for the spring quarter at Stanford.
An encampment that Pro-Palestinian protesters established in late April remains on a campus quad.
