All of the pro-Palestinian protesters arrested on Monday at the University of Texas are out of jail. The 79 protesters had been released by about 1 p.m. Wednesday, nearly two-days after being arrested. Campus police, aided by state troopers and Austin officers, broke up an encampment on the university's South Mall, which was at odds with UT's policies. Officials say 45 of the 79 arrestees were outside agitators not affiliated with the university.
