A total of 36 demonstrators at Ohio State University were arrested on Thursday night after refusing dispersal orders, according to a preliminary report from the university.
Of the 36 arrested, 20 were not affiliated with the university and 16 were students, according to university spokesperson Benjamin Johnson.
University spokesperson Benjamin Johnson stated, 'Well-established university rules prohibit camping and overnight events. Demonstrators exercised their First Amendment rights for several hours and were then instructed to disperse. Individuals who refused to leave after multiple warnings were arrested and charged with criminal trespass.'
