California State University and the University of California are revamping protest rules and banning encampments, barriers and, under certain circumstances, the wearing of face masks.
They join a wave of other colleges across the country that have revisited rules about how and where people can demonstrate on their campuses in the wake of pro-Palestinian protests last spring.
