(Patrick Semansky/AP)Seven people were arrested Wednesday morning at Johns Hopkins University as Baltimore police reopened an administrative building where the doors had been chained shut for a week in a protest over issues including the creation of a separate campus police force. Baltimore police and Hopkins officials said trespassers who had seized control of Garland Hall were offered “full amnesty” in an operation that started before 5 a.m. They were given chances to leave the building without being charged, police said, but some chose not to leave. The launch of the Hopkins force, with up to 100 officers, will be a multiyear process.
