Yale University police cited 19 students after they staged a sit-in outside President Peter Salovey’s office to push for divestment from fossil-fuel companies.
The students were issued citations and fined on Thursday for trespassing, Yale spokesman Tom Conroy said. The protest comes as students at Harvard University prepare for a week-long blockade of the hall housing President Drew Faust’s office. Demonstrations have also been held at Swarthmore College and Bowdoin College.
