In reply to the discussion: 1/2 the protestors arrested in austin were not students [View all]LeftInTX
(26,269 posts)9. I know Columbia has gates and is a private university.
The gates have been locked to outsiders.
I don't know if Harvard has gates.
UT is wide open. It's next to impossible to control access. Additionally Texas state law requires that outside groups protest. (This is because Abbott encouraged RW outside groups to disrupt "liberal" campuses)
