LSU police detained at least six students at a meeting to discuss the search for a new LSU System president after one refused to stop speaking when the allotted public comment time of three minutes was up, and others blocked the police car that held her.
The names of the students were not immediately available.
The meeting began with a series of public comments from students, many of whom strongly objected to the presidential search committee members, as well as some who had spoken at the previous meeting. Multiple students were members of the Students for a Democratic Society club and shared a list of demands, which included adding at least five students to the committee and having students vote on the final candidates. Each student was allowed three minutes to provide their comments.
