"When our requests, a number of the group chose to dismantle their tents in the afternoon, and we are grateful for their actions. However, many protesters rejected the warning, which gives us no choice but to ask the police to remove them.
"We are sad to announce that during this activity, the 10 protesters arrested and pepper spray was used. We will review the details of the incident," she told the New York Daily News.
On Saturday, the chancellor had harsher words for the officers, saying that his office would be to launch an investigation into the incident.
"The use of pepper spray, as shown in the video is frightening to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like that," said Katcha.
The university lacked resources to keep the protest site to become a danger to public health. she said.
