On Monday night, a group of New York University students and faculty members were arrested during protests on the campus of NYU. The New York Police Department confirmed the arrests but did not disclose the exact number of individuals taken into custody.
According to sources, NYU had requested the presence of the NYPD on campus to 'enforce the law.' The university's decision came after protesters breached a barricade at Gould Plaza, a designated area on school property, earlier in the day.
