Campus Reform reports Humboldt campus occupiers left 8,000 LBS of debris, university says "A spokeswoman from California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt told Campus Reform that the anti-Israel campus occupiers left 8,000 lbs in debris for workers to clean up."
A spokeswoman from California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt told Campus Reform that the anti-Israel campus occupiers left 8,000 lbs in debris for workers to clean up.
Protesters at Cal Poly Humboldt previously occupied a portion of campus and two buildings, naming one of the “intifada hall.”
Posts on social media show that the protesters have vandalized a building on campus with anti-Israel messaging. The university estimates damage to property is in the millions, according to a university.
”Blood on your hands,” one message inside a campus office states.

The spokeswoman said that 32 campus occupiers were arrested on early Tuesday morning, adding that 13 were students, 1 is a faculty member, and 18 were non-students.
While the university told Campus Reform that damage to campus is in the millions, the spokeswoman said that an exact cost will be released shortly.
Roz Rothstein, co-founder and CEO StandWithUs, an international nonpartisan education organization that supports Israel and fights antisemitism, told Campus Reform that Cal Poly Humboldt should have intervened much earlier.
”While we stand with Humboldt’s decision to enforce both state law and its own campus policies, it’s clear that earlier intervention with this ‘encampment’ could have averted much of this chaos,” said Rothstein. “It is important that administrators nationwide take note and commit to enforcing their own policies on an ongoing basis instead of waiting for things to escalate.”
I guess they had to do something since there's no longer a statue of William McKinley in the Arcata Town Square to march around and climb on.
