They took over buildings and [...]
1) the failure of the investigators to get reports from three individuals who said they were assaulted (very significant) 2) the failure of the investigators to find the student who went to the student health services for treatment 3) what happened to that picture of a girl showing ‘irritated skin’ behind her ear allegedly from pepper [...]
“History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. I saw that quote at GallyNet and thought it fitting to be reprinted here. elizabeth www.gallynet.org
Reading the report of the investigators checking the DPS misconduct complaint, I was startled to find this reference to a post in my blog on page 19:  ”[Footnote: 23] An Internet posting purportedly written by a student states that, in attempting to enter the building, the officers “just shoved the students away, just like that, [...]
 134 students already have arrest records.

There are some indications that the Davila Administration and the BoT are considering ‘light reprisals’ for protesters arrested on Black Friday. The punishment may be ‘writing essays’. However, these rumors have not been confirmed. People constantly ask me for updates on past reprisals. So far we only know of two protesters who got their jobs back. There [...]
Another protester, Allison Aubrecht had recently been informed that her position was reinstated and she’ll start working on Jan 3rd. Allison, a MSSD counselor, was fired for her participation in the protest, supporting the student protesters. Allison was a rare person, someone who risked her job security to fight openly for the students whereby many other [...]
Ryan Commerson announced that he was informed yesterday that he got his job back. It is currently unknown if others who have lost their jobs have them already reinstated. Also unclear are those who were fired from their internships as the semester is already over. Whether the back pay for the lost time will be included remains to be seen.
