An hourslong standoff on the campus between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and law enforcement appeared to be culminating as officers moved in. The California Highway Patrol arrested multiple protesters, an officer said.
As crews cleared the remnants of an encampment, students and faculty members wondered how the university could have handled protests over the war in Gaza so badly.

Story of the week
When we started our rebuttals update project at Skeptical Science last year, we didn t really know, how it would pan out and for how long we could keep the refurbishing line in our little virtual factory going. Now, almost a year after we published the first batch of 10 updated rebuttals we hit highlighted rebuttal #50 this week, so our effort thus far has proven to be sustainable. In addition, we are happy to report that we have about 25 more rebuttals in various draft stages awaiting their turn to be highlighted. Our factory will therefore not be running out of material any time soon!
