Vandalism Condemnation

 

Resolution History

 

            In what appears to have been a response to the selection of Bruce Benson as sole finalist for the position of President to the University of Colorado System, vandals have defaced a painting of the donor. The painting was hanging in the Benson Earth Sciences building. The University of Colorado Police Department removed the painting immediately after it was discovered.

 

 

Resolution Summary

 

            The University of Colorado Student Union hereby condemns the actions of those that committed this crime. Regardless of the sentiments some students may have towards the candidate or the selection process, these criminal acts have done nothing but hurt the reputation of the University. The UCSU urges all students to act professionally and respectfully at all times when voicing their opinions of any administrator or nominee.

 

 

Whereas: The acts of defacing University property are both illegal and juvenile; and

 

Whereas: By participating in such acts, students at the University of Colorado have hurt the reputation of the University; and
