Wayne State University in Detroit suspends in-person classes and encourages staff to work remotely to avoid any problems with an anti-Israel pro-Palestinian encampment that sprouted last week.
“All on-campus events are canceled until further notice. Critical infrastructure workers are expected to report to campus,” the school says in a statement.
Wayne State spokesman Matt Lockwood says there have been “public safety concerns,” especially about access to certain areas.
Wayne State has 16,000 undergraduate students, but fewer during the summer term.
