STATEMENT OF CHANCELLOR DAVID WARD
ARRESTS 2/20/2000

Approximately 54 protesters were arrested and removed from the Chancellor's
Office in Bascom Hall Sunday morning. I authorized this action., I did so
because it is my responsibility to ensure that students, faculty and staff
do not face intimidation, interference or personal danger as they go about
their business. Despite the rash of erroneous reports of events during the
protests, these problems did develop. They had to end.
