Earlier today, the NYPD received the attached letter from NYU — detailing a request to clear Gould Plaza of individuals who were refusing to  comply with repeated requests to disperse. They were described as “interfering with the safety and security of our community.” Our  officers responded to the location without delay and dispersed the crowd — making numerous arrests, as necessary . There is a pattern of behavior occurring on campuses across our nation, in which individuals attempt to occupy a space in defiance of school policy. Rest assured, in NYC the NYPD stands ready to address these prohibited and subsequently illegal actions whenever we are called upon. @NYPDnews @NYPDPC @NYPDChiefPatrol @NYPDChiefOfDept
