The University of California reopens the campus for students after protests

After temporarily closing due to protests by demonstrators unaffiliated with the university, the University of Southern California (USC) reopened its campus to the school community on Wednesday night. The closure occurred as protesters congregated at the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Figueroa Street, adjacent to the campus. USC announced the reopening around 9 p.m. after confirming the departure of the demonstrators from the area. The university welcomed back students, staff, faculty, and registered guests following the resolution of the protest. The nature of the demonstration was not explicitly stated.
