OLYMPIA, Wash. – Classes are resumed Monday afternoon at Evergreen State College in Olympia.

Protests on the progressive campus have attracted national attention, and threats.

The college was closed for the third consecutive weekday for much of the day as police reviewed new a new threat received over the weekend.

Recent protests followed a white professor’s decision to oppose an event in which organizers asked white students to leave campus for a talk about race.

The event was a reversal of the college’s longstanding annual “Day of Absence,” in which minorities attend programs off campus.
