A protest began at the University of Pittsburgh.

Protesters gathered outside the Cathedral of Learning just before 6pm on Sunday.

Some tents were set up on the lawn outside the cathedral.

At 7:21 p.m., Pitt Police said the Cathedral of Learning and WPU would be closed until further notice. They also believe traffic will be impacted near Forbes Avenue and Bigelow Blvd.

In April, protesters gathered at Pitt and called on the university to divest from companies that profited from the Israel-Hamas war.
