The University Park Campus, the University of Southern California's main campus, has been closed due to ongoing protests, as announced by the university. The closure was prompted by significant activity at the center of the campus. In a statement, the university mentioned that students will still have access to the campus through pedestrian gates by using their USC IDs. Additionally, all individuals currently on campus will be allowed to exit.
These developments unfolded as the Los Angeles Police Department initiated arrests of protesters at the university. The closure of the UPC campus underscores the impact of the protests on the university's operations and the need to ensure the safety and security of all individuals on campus.
