'You will not do this here' Washington University Chancellor sends warning to campus protestors following weekend protest

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - As protests of the Gaza War spreads rampant throughout many college campus across the country, Washington University Chancellor sent a clear message to protestors at the school: 'You Will Not Do This Here.'

Washington University Chancellor Andrew D. Martin released a letter Monday regarding the protests at Washington University in St. Louis that saw around 100 people arrested over the weekend , including Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein.

"To those who plan to continue to come to campus with the intention of disrupting our education and research mission and violating our policies, please know we will respond proportionately each and every time. You will not do this here." said Martin in his letter. "To be crystal clear: we will not permit students and faculty, and we certainly will not permit outside interests, to take over Washington University property to establish encampments to promote any political or social agenda."

While those in attendance of the protest over the week, including St. Louis Board of Alderman President Megan Green, say the protests were peaceful , Martin wrote in his letter that some protestor were behaving erratically.

"Some of the protesters were behaving aggressively, swinging flagpoles and sticks." said Martin. "Some were attempting to break into locked buildings or to deface property. There were chants that many in our community find threatening and anti-semitic"

Martin claims that each of the 100 were arrested was going to face criminal charges for trespassing and potential resisting arrest and assault charges.

Those arrested were given a criminal trespass warning that prohibits them from being on the campus in the future.

Martin writes in his letter among those arrested were 23 students and four faculty members, with Martin saying that those students will be reviewed under the university student conduct process and they are taking what happened 'very seriously'.
