The original reports have been confirmed by multiple eye witnesses and
multiple video recordings.

The chancellor's taking of responsibility appears to be purely a verbal
rather than a moral act.

That would be a good outcome. As would a fourth amendment case against
the university that will establish actual discouragements for chemically
assaulting peacefully protesting students rather than just a temporary
change in regulations that can be rolled back as soon as the current
intake graduate.

I don't disagree that engaging with the students might be more
productive than refusing to engage with their attackers. But this is a
situation where anyone who can bring pressure to bear on the university
administration *now* rather than in six months time should strongly
consider doing so.
