(Minneapolis, MN) -- The University of Minnesota is dropping some of the trespassing notices issued to pro-Gaza protesters earlier this week.

The university sent letters to the six students and one faculty member arrested on Tuesday and told them their notices had been rescinded.  They will be allowed back on campus immediately.  The university warned those arrested they could still face discipline under the school's staff and student policies.  

Two people not affiliated with the university who were also arrested will not be allowed back on campus for one year.
