Description
University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce is calling on a pro-Palestinian student encampment to be dismantled after multiple buildings on the Seattle campus were tagged with what she called "offensive graffiti."
Some of the graffiti was "quite clearly both antisemitic and violent," according to a message from Cauce.
"Much to my dismay, given the relatively cordial tone of many of our discussions, the [encampment] representatives also said the new graffiti is an intentional escalation to compel the University to agree to their demands," Cauce wrote.
Representatives inside the encampment's designated media tent told KING 5 they weren't ready to comment but would likely have a statement on Thursday.
