5:46Now PlayingStudents and Faculty are upset at Elizabeth City State University's decision to house out-of-town officers responding to protests.
Students feel betrayed after learning officers are moving into dorms they were ordered to evacuate due to safety concerns.
After receiving a lot of backlash on social media, the university released this statement:
We are doing the best we can to support our community during this difficult time, working to ensure that citizens can exercise their first amendment right to protest safely and peacefully. As a public University, ECSU has an obligation to support other public agencies in times of need, just as we count on their help when the campus makes a request.
None of the rooms being used were previously occupied by students. The decision to close residence halls made on Sunday was made in anticipation of the City of Elizabeth City declaring a state of emergency on Monday morning.
