Arizona State University placed the chief of its campus police department, Michael Thompson, on leave after complaints were filed about his actions during the break-up of a pro-Palestinian demonstration in late April.
Twenty Arizona State students were arrested during the demonstration and subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents for violating their First Amendment rights.
Reports also emerged that police had removed a woman's hijab during the arrests, with the general counsel's office reviewing these allegations.
Azza Abuseif from the Council on American-Islamic Relations called for a full investigation regarding the reports of misconduct during the arrests.
