Barricades were set up at Baruch College on Sunday and a number of Monday afternoon classes were canceled, ahead of a planned Monday vote on tuition hikes by the City University of New York's board of trustees.

In anticipation of the vote on the hikes, the school is postponing classes that begin after 3 p.m. Monday on the Newman Vertical Campus in Gramercy.

School officials said the move was made to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff, days after a protest over proposed tuition hikes during a prior trustees' meeting led to more than a dozen arrests.

Members of the organization "Students United For A Free CUNY" plan to march from Madison Square Park to the college on Monday.

On Sunday, some students were still calling for the hikes to be voted down, but others just wanted the campus to be less chaotic.

"Obviously we still have really low tuition compared to other schools in the city, so I don't really have an opinion on the tuition increase. I just don't like having everything disrupted by the meetings and protests that go with them," said one Baruch student.

"I support what the protesters are doing, so I can't say that I'm against the school being closed, but I just hope it doesn't continue in the long run, because especially when it gets to finals, it's going to be a lot more stressful," said another Baruch student.

In a statement, the school's president says Baruch is determined to avoid any repetition of last week's events.
