Arrests were made on the Virginia Tech campus as police tried to remove protesters from the encampment, according to The Washington Post.
The newspaper cited an unnamed university spokesman.
About 10:15 p.m. Sunday, Virginia Tech police advised protesters to leave within five minutes or face arrest.
At the same time, the university warned students to refrain from protesting.
“Heavy police activity around the Graduate Life Center. urgent Please avoid the area. Call 911 for help,” the university wrote on social media.
CNN has asked the university for details on the number of students who have been detained and their charges.
Protesters began occupying a courtyard at the university’s Center for Graduate Life on Friday, according to the university. By Sunday, the situation on campus had “evolved” and potentially “became unsafe,” he said.
