Police cleared the pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology early Friday.

Protesters were demanding that the school cut financial and research ties with Israel.

Officers surrounded the perimeter of the camp at 4 a.m. and urged the protesters to leave.

Students said several people were taken into custody. MIT says 10 students were arrested.

The encampment began on April 21.
