BRIEF: UA responds to newspaper confiscation

The UA is demanding student representation on the committee that will evaluate the incidents surrounding the confiscation of the newspapers, including allegations that a University Police officer struck a student. The UA is also demanding student representation on the committee that will review University Police's standard operating procedures. The UA has offered to provide a forum for a dialogue between "the students" and the DP "when such a dialogue is appropriate and deemed necessary by both parties," the statement says. The statement also criticizes the DP and the University administration, saying both have "overlooked the fact that the issue of racism is the true focus of the protest." -- Joshua Goldwert
