Local media reported that UC Berkeley officials have agreed to meet with protesters after the encampment is cleared. No other details about the conditions or terms were known.
Student protests over the war in Gaza have swept the U.S. in past weeks, with police clearing a number of encampments, at times after confrontations between protesters and counter-protesters; other tent protests dismantled after universities agreed to protesters' demands; and some demonstrations continuing.
Some school administrators have called in local law enforcement to arrest protesters and clear camps and sit-ins. Others have let camps operate or reached deals to end protests.
The University of California, Berkeley has allowed a pro-Palestinian camp so long as it does not disrupt campus operations and there is no threat of violence.
