Students waited until the late afternoon to gather, bringing protest signs as well as blankets, pillows, food and water to sustain what they're calling an encampment. They gave speeches, joined in chants, and presented informative slideshows. Then two tents were set up across an a recently built space that's officially known as the Peace Plaza. Student Joseph Souza led most of the protestors in chant and said he's supportive of even a small encampment.

You know, I support civil disobedience. I support students participating in civil disobedience to their if they wanted to encampment, the only way for it to be an encampment is friendly to make it that way. And with our two tents here, I hope these students are committed.

A small number of officials from Ball State Administration and Ball State Police Department officers stood around the protesters during the demonstration. Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns declined to release a statement on the protest. Ball State Police are allowing the tents to stay overnight and there have been no arrests made.
