[UPDATE 1:50 P.M.] CAL POLY HUMBOLDT CAMPUS SEALED OFF AMID LAW ENFORCEMENT BUILDUP AND STUDENT PROTESTS

This afternoon, Cal Poly Humboldt has declared a complete shutdown of its campus following the ongoing student protest over the Israeli/Hamas War that has gripped key administrative buildings. The university issued a stern warning at 12:41 p.m., announcing a hard closure, banning unauthorized individuals from entering the premises.
The closure encompasses major access points, including road blocks at Harpst and B streets, as well as Plaza and LK Wood, as confirmed by the university’s statement. The directive from Cal Poly Humboldt emphasizes that only individuals with explicit permission from University Police are allowed on campus grounds. Those found violating this mandate face potential citations or arrests.

Students residing in campus housing are allowed limited movement within their dormitories and associated dining facilities, but are restricted from accessing other parts of the university. This measure comes as part of the university’s response to the occupation of Siemens Hall and Nelson Hall, along with reported unlawful activities around the building areas and the quad.

At least two state campus police vehicles were seen at the Blue Lake Casino overnight. Social media is reporting a bulldozer and other equipment moving onto campus.
