“While College Republicans were tabling on the plaza, another student approached the table and wiped off a whiteboard with their hand. To the side of the table, that student and one of the students tabling for the College Republicans started to argue about free speech and gender. The visiting student then assaulted the tabling student, knocking them to the ground and tearing their shirt. Police have identified the individual involved and issued two Class B misdemeanor citations--for simple assault and property damage.”
