Key Points:
- New law bans overnight encampments on campus
- Law was introduced in response to pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protests last year
- State university officials say current campus use policies align with the law
Activists and students who want to protest on campus will no longer be able to set up encampments and stay overnight.
A new law outlaws unauthorized encampments and directs university and community college presidents to immediately call for the dismantling of temporary shelters and to contact law enforcement if protesters don’t comply.
Failure to comply could result in a charge of criminal trespass.
