LOS ANGELES—USC’s campus will remain closed to the general public April 25 until further notice, although classes will go on as scheduled, one day after nearly 100 people were arrested when police cleared an “occupation” of USC’s Alumni Park by pro-Palestinian protesters demanding that the university end ties with Israel and Israeli-tied investments.

“The protest on the UPC has ended. However, the campus remains closed until further notice. Students, faculty, staff, and people with business on campus may enter with proper identification,” USC said in a statement issued at 10:58 p.m. Wednesday.
