At UC Berkeley, a small area of graffiti materialized at the corner of Sproul. Cal says they're investigating. In a formal statement, the university said, "To date, there has been no disruption of University operations. We will continue to try to respond per policy to any and all claims of illegal conduct for harassment and/or discrimination.
Hannah Schlacter, a second-year graduate student at the Haas School of Business said, "As a Jewish student, when I see two other Jewish graduate students harassed when they entered that encampment and another that was punched and followed to the police station - that tells me that the university is not enforcing their policy around student code of conduct, around what safe protesting is and there's not going to be any consequences for students who perpetuate such Jew hate at Berkeley.
