The conflict arose after information circulated among students late on a Saturday night alleging that a female student had been sexually assaulted on campus.
The protesters accused the administration of failing to adequately address the allegation, while the administration faced the challenge of maintaining order and managing the situation.
The protests escalated into violent clashes, leading the university to suspend classes.
