At least 12 people were arrested Wednesday morning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as law enforcement officials moved in to take down tents and disassemble the campus encampment.

Several people resisted arrest, according to an update from the university, noting it is still unclear how many are affiliated with the school.

According to the university, the encampment at the Madison campus violates school policy, which limits certain types of activities on campus.

Lindsay Dubin, a UW-Madison student, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that one tent remains at the university's Library Mall and that the protest is still ongoing, as of Wednesday morning. She also said the university is well within their rights to dismantle the encampment.

"Even if you consider these laws unjust, (Martin Luther King Jr.) said civil disobedience requires that the individuals who break the laws willingly accept the consequences of doing so," Dubin said. "We're in college now, we're adults, and there are policies and laws in place to protect students and when you break those laws, you have to accept the consequences. So I believe the university is well within their rights to try to break up the encampment."

The university said there is no threat to safety and that it will continue to operate normally today, but UWPD remains on the ground to make sure any continuing protests are safe and peaceful.
