Oregon’s Portland State University (PSU) library has shut down after anti-Israel protesters occupied the building and damaged it.
Early Friday, PSU President Ann Cudd toured the library and, in a letter to the campus community, deemed it “not suitable for occupation,” KOIN reported, adding that Cudd said staffers are working to offer alternatives to students. The library is not projected to reopen for several months.
The news comes amid the ongoing war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group.
