Claremont Colleges suspend about 15 sit-in participants
About 15 students, including Black and Mexican American protesters, were suspended after a sit-in that seized a campus administration building.

A Los Angeles County judge issued a restraining order scheduling the protesters to leave, but officials said enforcement would await the court action. The sit-in protested reductions to a minority summer orientation program and faculty center concerns.
