On Thursday afternoon, Cal Poly Humboldt’s University Senate met a two-thirds majority to make a vote of no confidence for President Tom Jackson and Chief of Staff Mark Johnson. The general faculty of the university demanded the immediate resignation of both Jackson and Johnson.
The resolution notes that shortly after students occupied Siemens Hall, the university called on multiple law enforcement agencies to respond, which included dozens of armed, non-university police officers arriving at Siemens Hall wearing body armor and carrying shields. Three students were arrested and some were injured in a clash with police. According to student protesters interviewed by the Times-Standard over the past week, the initial aim was to occupy the building and allow classes to continue — however,, evacuating classes and later calling seeking the aid multiple police agencies to remove the group. Now, dozens are barricaded in the hall with demands including divestment.
Chair Jim Woglom, who has been meeting with the occupiers, emphasized the need to get the kids out of the building safely at the meeting. He said he planned to meet with the occupiers Thursday afternoon to discuss demands.Previously, faculty considered including Provost Jenn Capps in the resolution. It’s not clear why she was excluded in the vote, but some at the meeting called for the resolution to be amended to include her again.
