Protests at a US university have been "infiltrated by professional organisers" as campaigns continued at campuses across the country.
Massachusetts State Police said that they helped cleared out a protest encampment at Northeastern University in Boston.
Officers said that 102 protesters who refused to leave were arrested and will be charged with trespassing.
Northeastern University said in a statement on social media that it decided to call in police due to people not affiliated with the school attending on site.

A spokesperson said the protests had been: "Infiltrated by professional organisers" with no affiliation to the university and that antisemitic slogans, including “Kill the Jews” had been witnessed.
In the past two weeks, pro-Palestinian protests have spread to college campuses across the US triggered by the mass arrest of over 100 people at Columbia University in New York more than a week ago.
Student leaders have acknowledged that isolated incidents of antisemitism and harassment have occurred but blame outsiders they say have sought to hijack their movement.
The Columbia campus was peaceful on Saturday, a school spokesman said, but crackdowns took place at a handful of other campuses.
