The “harassing and intimidating comments and actions” by some protesters violate the school’s open expression guidelines as well as state and federal law, Jameson said. He also accused some of the protesters of vandalizing a statue with antisemitic graffiti, which he called “especially reprehensible" while stating it would be"investigated as a hate crime.”
In that statement, Jameson said the failure to disband the encampment and to adhere to UPenn’s policies would result in sanctions consistent with their due process procedures as they apply to students, faculty and staff.
