at cal poly. humboldt. students were given a deadline this afternoon to pack up and go, and the humboldt campus is now closed for the remainder of the year. at uc berkeley, students have been camped out for a week now with little interference from the university or law enforcement, and a similar scene at stanford. protesters there heading into the second night of a tent city in the middle of campus universities trying to balance freedom of speech rights while keeping campuses safe. ktvu mark sayer is live at stanford tonight, and shows us the fine line universities are walking. mark >> well, christina, compared to some of the confrontations we've seen at columbia in new york and also usc in los angeles, what's been happening here at stanford has been fairly calm and fairly peaceful. let me step out of the way. we are at white memorial plaza. this is right next to the stanford bookstore in the middle of campus, where students first set up these tents after their big rally on thursday night. on friday afternoon, students were mostly keeping to themselves in a cordoned off area of the plaza

. there were no bullhorns nor speeches. it was just food, music and camaraderie. organizers say the goal of this protest is very focused. protesters want stanford to first disclose its investments related to any corporations profiting from the conflict in gaza, and then to divest. >> the ceasefire call is definitely a part of it, right? but like, i think we understand that within our very local context of being stanford university students, we can probably leverage the most effort towards making a cease fire happen by like building on this huge pile of pressure, right, of which divestment and that kind of company pressure is a very clear part of that picture. >> on friday, stanford released this statement. while stanford understands students perspectives on an important global issue, violations of university policy will not be overlooked. the submission of student names to the office of community standards student conduct process has begun in the university also sent a message to the full community saying that the overnight tents are a safety and security issue and they are a clear violation of

university policy at usc. in los angeles, campus leaders have taken a different approach and called in the police to break up protests. and now administrators have announced that university wide graduation ceremonies have been canceled. >> i was disheartened, obviously it has been a possibility for a few weeks given usc's decision to pull our valedictorian speech. >> we've known that it it might happen for a few weeks, as there is definitely some turmoil on campus. >> mira popli is a usc senior who is from pleasanton. while she is holding out hope some sort of smaller degree level ceremonies will still occur, usc's decision means she could miss her second graduation ceremony. >> i was crestfallen because this is a culmination of the four years at usc. >> we've worked so hard for this and for four years this has been our our shot at redemption. we're finally going to get to walk because none of us got to walk in 2020, when we graduated during covid into not have, you

know, the final moment of, you know, the moment in sun for the kids. >> i feel terrible for them. >> and back to a live picture here at stanford. now students are not saying definitively if they plan to keep their tents up for a second night, which would be a violation of university policies. we have seen campus public safety officers watching over this protest from a distance. so far, there has been no interaction between those public safety officers and the protesters here. there are about 16 or 18 tents here in white plaza behind me. what happens later tonight remains to be seen reporting live on the stanford campus. i'm mark sayer, ktvu, fox two news. christina mark, thank you for that report. >> one of the biggest protest in one of the first took root at columbia university in new york and spread across the country. fox's rebecca castor is in washington, d.c, where protests are now springing up in the nation's capital. no peace on stolen land. >> it's a scene now commonplace on college campuses across the u.s, as university students from columbia, ut, austin, emory, gw

and more raised their voices and set up encampments to protest israel's war in gaza. the protesters are calling for a cease fire in gaza and are demanding their universities cut any financial ties to businesses that are profiting from the conflict. but for some jewish students, the rhetoric is concerning and they fear for their safety. >> what these people are doing here is standing up for justice. i haven't heard any anti-semitism from them, but do you feel that it's threatening when you call for an intifada revolution? >> you're calling for the mass death of jews, the mass murder of jews. you're coming to my university and you're going to tell me that you're not threatening me. >> college presidents are trying to balance free speech while also ensuring the safety of their students. >> honestly, the university has done everything they can to be able to stop these protests or to be able to defend the jewish students on this campus, but there's only so much that they can do. >> we are able to exist here and live and learn and commune and

protest together, palestinians are not able to do that. >> as the protests continue, they're starting to have an effect on the end of the school year. gw had to relocate its law school final exams, and the university of southern california canceled its main commencement. protests have spilled over outside campus because george washington university is one of several college campuses that is in its safety mode right now, meaning only students and faculty with id cards can get on campus. in washington, rebecca castor, fox news. >> a well known author from berkeley was among those arrested in southern israel today, the group of american and israeli rabbis and supporters demonstrated near the border with gaza to demand a cease fire and the delivery of aid. novelist michael chabon said his wife, author ayelet waldman, was among those arrested and later released. the organizers say the demonstration was in the spirit of passover, celebrating food and freedom. >> and so at this point, to do

this action now really resonates with the spirit of the season of passover. the spirit of is the passover is the season of our liberation, and we want it to be a season of liberation for all people. because no people are free unless all people are free. >> u.n. officials say northern gaza is heading towards famine and claim israel has not allowed delivery of food and other critical aid to the region. >> a new program that's helping bay area high school students become more resilient and empowered is getting support from the state. menlo park state lawmakers josh becker and mark berman presented a symbolic check for $300,000 to the oshman family jewish community center in palo alto. today, the center launched the prep fellowship last fall. the goal is to provide high school juniors and seniors with life skills as they head to college, a gap year or the workforce. >> through this program, our teens have been equipped to engage in open and constructive conversations, support their peers, and confidently navigate their own identities, jewish or otherwise, particularly in in

environments where they may be marginalized or discriminated against. especially how we've seen after october 7th. >> so far, the program has served a dozen students during workshops and a weekend retreat. organizers say the students learned how to stand up for themselves at a time of growing incidence of anti-semitism, a developing story in concord this hour, where authorities say that a thousand people were evacuated from a costco. >> here's a look at the scene on monument boulevard. this picture provided by calfire. they say about 800 customers and 200 employees were evacuated just after 2:00 this afternoon. contra costa fire officials say they responded to a refrigerant leak, which can displace oxygen. police tell us no injuries were reported. firefighters do plan to wrap up soon and will then release the area back open for that store to reopen. >> law enforcement from around the area gathered today to honor the life of a young oakland officer, oakland police officer jordan wingate died nearly six years after he was critically injured in a crash while on

casket before addressing mourners. he spoke of his son asking him to make lunch for him, as a 21 year old turns out it wasn't about the food, which his son only ate. half of anyway. it was about the notes that came with it, and it dawned on me when i would make him lunch. >> when i would make the kids lunches, i would write, i love you or i'm proud of you. i write a note on the lunch i then realized that yeah, we will always remember you, the laughs you gave us and your beautiful smile. >> the fallen officer had followed in his father's footsteps, as well as his godfather, oakland officer willie wilkins, killed by friendly fire back in 2001. officer daniel estrada says he finds some comfort that both are together once again. >> the way jordan shared memories of officer willie and how he spoke highly of him is the way i will ever speak of jordan. >> officer danielle juarez, an academy classmate, said her friend, once named rookie of the

year, always showed up at big calls and was the ultimate backup. >> when this career starts to take a toll on us, all we have are each other. jordan always made sure he was there for me and anyone that needed him. >> officer wingate was buried at a private ceremony in lafayette. in castro valley henry lee ktvu fox two news. >> the pleasanton community is heartbroken over the loss of a family of four in the tragic crash. on wednesday night, pleasanton police say the family was in an electric car when it crashed into a tree on foothill boulevard near stoneridge drive. ktvu crystal bailey spoke with people who knew the family. crystal >> well, it was a horrific scene here wednesday night that first responders came and found a family of four, the entire family dead here after a fiery crash. and now you can still see the scene has pieces of the car all over the place, and the

community is wrapping their arms around this family with flowers and messages of hope. >> we were devastated. >> that's how anjali maskey felt when she found out her best friends were gone. although officials have not identified the family, she says her friends are tarun and rincy. george and their two sons. seen in these images from social media, maskey says the family was coming home from a birthday party on wednesday night when the crash happened. now she's trying to console her child who played with their kids. >> it's very hard for us to explain to children that a friend of their who is there, like last night and this morning, he's not there. >> maskey says the boys went to donlon elementary school and hart middle school, where school officials have sent grief counselors. one man, who lives off foothill, says he was outside when he heard explosions around 9:00 that night. every five to 10s, they boom, boom. >> so maybe around 5 to 8 times. >> shortly after the sound of sirens, officials saying the

electric car might have been speeding when it lost control and crashed into a tree. that tree, now wrapped in flowers and debris, a cry from people who live nearby, need to slow down on foothill boulevard, police in less than two miles away, their home also surrounded in support. meanwhile, those close to the family are gathered in their home, mourning and sharing memories. >> the family was the most welcoming family to anybody in the neighborhood. they would be missed heavily, heavily. >> well, the crash is still under investigation. the friends that i spoke to say family members are coming in over the weekend from india and of course, the entire pleasanton community here is mourning this tragic loss. i'm live in pleasanton, crystal bailey, ktvu, fox two news. >> yeah, just heartbroken for the family. crystal. thank you. >> coming up next, slow down san francisco will have a live report on which intersections

donut and left. he returned a few seconds later, grabbed the register off the counter and ran out. he drove off in a waiting getaway car. the register had $1,300 in cash inside. >> san francisco police are offering details tonight on the department's new plan to crack down on speeding. ktvu is christian captain live in the city at one of those intersections where officers will be watching closely for speeders, christian. >> yeah. hi. we are at the intersection of geary and divisadero, and this is one of those intersections that has all the hallmarks for speeding. it has multiple lanes east and west bound. it has a light that drivers sometimes feel they need to race to try to get here. and you can see it has crosswalks going on in each direction. so that is why this is one of those intersections that the city says it's now going to be focusing on , to make sure that it tries to stop as many speeders as possible. some intersections in san francisco are notorious for speeding vehicles, including mission and ninth street. people living in the area say pedestrians have to pay close

attention when crossing. >> it's pretty erratic. you really have to be aware when you're crossing this intersection now. >> san francisco police say the department has already started a plan to step up scrutiny and enforcement at this intersection, and nine other high injury corridors in an effort to slow drivers down. pedestrian advocacy group walk san francisco says speed kills and anything the police can do to slow drivers down will help save lives. >> speed is the worst and most dangerous driving behavior. it is the cause of most of the crashes that we've seen in san francisco, and we're happy that the sfpd is going to start really focusing on that most dangerous behavior. >> word about the latest enforcement effort with officers in person, enforcing the speed limit comes as the city prepares to install 33 speed cameras at dangerous stretches of road walk . sf says it's all part of an overlapping network of enforcement aimed at protecting pedestrians, cyclists and even drivers.

>> this combination of sfpd and cameras working together, it really does show that san francisco is a city where, the city cares about its people coming into san francisco. it does want people to walk and bike more. it wants to make its streets safe. >> some pedestrians say while they hope the added enforcement works, they're not sure it will have a lasting impact as long as they're around. >> yeah, it'll slow down, but i don't. i think it'll go right back once they leave. >> and to combat the chance of only having a short term impact, san francisco police say their enforcement will come in waves to make sure there is consistent enforcement over a sustained period of time. police say some components of the plan are already in place. others, they say, are still being implemented. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, christian, thank you for that. >> well, bay area weather, a cool, blustery day out there today. some strong northwesterly winds moving across the entire bay area. so you probably notice
