There have been over 1,200 arrests made so far related to pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on college campuses across the country, according to a tally by NBC News.

Some of the latest numbers include:

• Seventy-nine people arrested at UT Austin protests yesterday — though it’s not clear how many were students. Most were charged with criminal trespass, one with an additional charge of obstructing a highway or passageway and one charged with interfering with public duties, according to the Travis County sheriff’s office. 
• Three arrested at the University of South Florida's Tampa campus — one student, one employee and one person unaffiliated with the school.
• Twenty-five people arrested from Cal Poly Humboldt early Tuesday as protests at Siemens Hall and Nelson Hall East were cleared by law enforcement.

The New York Police Department received several 911 calls from Columbia University last night as a protest occurred at a school building, according to the department's chief spokesperson. The NYPD, paired with Columbia school safety, determined that there were no physical threats to anyone and no lives in danger. 

There were acts of criminal mischief in and around the building, but Columbia did not want the NYPD to enter and make arrests or charge any individuals for that mischief, which included vandalism, the spokesperson said.

At an unrelated press conference this morning, NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey said: "As of right now the NYPD is always ready but we will not be going onto Columbia’s property without a specific request from them," noting "unless there’s imminent danger, imminent emergency, where we have to go on the property."

Access to Columbia University’s campus is restricted today “as a safety measure,” a school spokesperson said. 

“Media access will be restored when safety conditions change,” the spokesperson said. 

Barnard College, which is affiliated with Columbia, also moved to Barnard ID access only, barring guests from campus and canceling all in-person events.

Arrests were made Tuesday morning at the University of Connecticut's encampment protest. 

There were about 20 tents in the encampment as of yesterday afternoon, and protesters ignored school warnings take down the tents, a school spokesperson said. 

“UConn Police directed them four times on Tuesday morning to remove the tents and disperse, and they again repeatedly ignored the directives," university spokesperson Stephanie Reitz said. "Officers then entered the site to remove the tents and tarps, and to arrest those who refused compliance." It's not immediately clear how many people were arrested. NBC News is out to UConn Police for comment.

It comes after the school on Friday shared guidelines with protest organizers that such protests are permitted but "safety, health, and basic community standards need to be recognized and maintained, both in the interest of those who are gathering as well as other community members who may be impacted."

Unlike at several other campuses this morning, the pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Yale ended peacefully in the last few hours with no arrests made, the college said in a statement.

The encampment was set up Sunday, and college administrators had told protesters that it violated university policies and was disrupting campus life.

"All the protesters chose to leave the encampment, and the university is in the process of clearing tents and other items from the area," the statement said.

The college said some protesters, however, remained on surrounding streets.

One person was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, for allegedly spitting on a police officer as a protest was broken up at the University of Florida last night.

They were among nine people arrested by University of Florida Police and Florida Highway Patrol, the university's director of public affairs, Cynthia Roldan Hernandez, said in a statement. Other charges include failure to obey a lawful command, resistance without violence, and trespassing after warning.

Earlier, a university spokesman told protesters they would not be treated like children and that the university is "not a daycare."

The university shared a list prohibited activities on campus, which includes camping, sleeping and erecting unmanned signs.

Over 1,000 alumni from Columbia University wrote a letter to the school’s president, Minouche Shafik, yesterday demanding the removal of “illegal encampments” and to “immediately restore safety for all students.”

“Enough is enough. Antisemitism is never acceptable. Ever,” the letter said. 

The letter pointed out how over the past week, suspended students defied decrees by returning to the encampment and students allegedly tried to intimidate a Jewish student in a “zionist free zone.”

As pro-Palestinian protests continue on colleges across the nation, House Speaker Mike Johnson will later today announce what his team call a "House-wide crackdown on the virus of antisemitism spreading throughout college campuses."

Without specifying what measures this will include, a short press release said that House Republicans would "expand a wide-ranging investigation focused on holding accountable college and university administrators who fail at their core responsibility: keeping their students safe."

As campus protests were gaining momentum last week, Johnson called on Columbia's president, Minouche Shafik, to stand down if she couldn't quell the growing encampment at Columbia's Morningside Heights campus.

"As speaker of the House, I’m committing today that the Congress will not be silent as Jewish students are expected to run for their lives and stay home from their classes hiding in fear," he said last week.
