Students unhappy with Occidental College’s handling of diversity issues begin their occupation of Arthur G. Coons Hall, the school’s administration building.

Some Occidental faculty are holding class in the administration building so that student protesters don’t miss course work.

Occidental college students occupying Cools Hall gather for an online discussion with former students.

Between 70 and 120 students each night have been camping in the administration building to protest Occidental’s handling of diversity issues.
