More than 70 staff and faculty members are calling on the University of Utah’s administration to “cease their pattern of intimidation” after nine students were criminally charged for protesting an event on campus.
The employees — which include professors, associate professors, assistant professors and others from at least 15 departments — signed onto a letter shared Monday in support of the students who are mostly members of the student group MECHA.
“MECHA’s recent protests should be viewed as a valuable opportunity for education and dialogue rather than punitive measures,” reads the staff and faculty message addressed to U. President Taylor Randall and top university leaders.

AGAIN...CONTEXT...The first group had a closed door meeting and these folks stormed in and disrupted it...whether or not they liked it you can't just storm in and take others first amendment rights. "They say MECHA infringed on the free speech rights of the conservative club, and student groups aren’t allowed to shout others down, even if they find the speech hateful." "disrupting the operation of a school, disorderly conduct and interference with a police officer." were the charges. So yes if they violated free speech and disrutpted and then interfering with a police officer they should be charged...Oh wait unless they are from the left then it doesn't matter.

If the roles were reversed and group one infiltrated and disrupted group 2's activities and were arrested you and the left would be singing the praises of the university and the prosecutors. Truth!!!
