- Law enforcement cleared the building around 3 a.m. Tuesday, arresting approximately 30 individuals on charges including trespassing and property destruction, with UW estimating $1 million in damages.
- The university condemned the occupation as illegal and antisemitic, suspended SUPER UW from campus, and vowed continued opposition to antisemitism and disruption of university operations.
