News&Observer coverage of Silent Sam (Charlotte, Chapel Hill: chapel, attorney)

[poppydog]

Not trying to restart the debate that was the locked down thread, but just saw the links to these articles in the N&O in my email, so passing them along. The first one is about the police involvement, which some folks had questions about.

News article addressing the police involvement (both UNC Campus police, who have jurisdiction on campus where Silent Sam was located, and Chapel Hill Town Police, who have jurisdiction on Franklin St and Peace & Justice Plaza at the Post Office where the protest and speakers started):
Hands off? Police response to two Silent Sam protests were far different

Opinion piece on Chancellor Folt's lack of action for a year since Charlottesville and authorization of almost $400,000 for guards protecting Silent Sam:
OPINION: After Silent Sam, Folt should lead

Opinion piece by Hampton Dellinger, the attorney who was preparing a case against the University on the ground that Silent Sam contributed to a "racially hostile learning environment" which is prohibited for recipients of federal funds and UNC does receive those funds: OPINION: If Silent Sam's Fall Was Illegal, So Too Was Its Standing

"Not trying to restart the debate, but here's some articles that I think prove that I'm right"

No, seriously, I am not trying to start anything. Just saw this in my morning email from the N&O and thought they covered some stuff folks were wondering about on that thread.

I thought you and others might be interested in the police article in particular. The headline didn't come through, but it's "Hands off? Police response to two Silent Sam protests were far different". I thought it addressed some of the questions that came up in that debate thread.

I'll see if I can edit and add the headlines to my original post.
