 excerpts :

"When you ordered police outfitted with riot helmets, brandishing batons
and teargas guns to remove their tents today, those students sat down on
the ground in a circle and linked arms to protect them."

"The fact is: the administration of UC campuses systematically uses police
brutality to terrorize students and faculty, to crush political dissent on
our campuses, and to suppress free speech and peaceful assembly. Many
people know this. Many more people are learning it very quickly.

You are responsible for the police violence directed against students on
the UC Davis quad on November 18, 2011. As I said, I am writing to hold you
responsible and to demand your immediate resignation on these grounds."

//

"Several of these students were hospitalized. Others are seriously injured.
One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat,
was still coughing up blood.

This is what happened. You are responsible for it.

You are responsible for it because this is what happens when UC Chancellors
order police onto our campuses to disperse peaceful protesters through the
use of force: students get hurt. Faculty get hurt."
