About 638 people were arrested during a 75 minute sweep that injured more than 100 students and left around 40 treated at an emergency infirmary. A mass crowd of about 2,000 gathered on campus and clashes followed as officers cleared barricaded buildings. Dan Pellegrin announced a student strike and classes were canceled, with some afternoon classes possibly held.
