The University of Pennsylvania, along with other Ivy League institutions such as Columbia, Yale, Harvard, and Princeton, is currently dealing with anti-Israel protests on its campus. In response to the situation, the university reportedly locked down Van Pelt Library early Thursday morning.
According to sources, Allied Security guards stationed at the library's front desk, along with Penn Police, are allowing students inside the building to leave, but no other students are being permitted to enter. The duration of the lockdown remains uncertain at this time.
