Resignation of UC Davis chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi
Christophe B.
started this petition to
Mark Yudof, president of the University of California, Jerry Brown, governor of California
The UC Davis "pepper spray" incident of November 18, 2011 made the headlines with videos showing police pepper-spraying a group of Occupy student demonstrators peacefully seated on a campus path.
The Reynoso report on this incident has been released, and makes clear that the university “Leadership Team,” and particularly the Chancellor, acted in a flagrantly totalitarian fashion: the Chancellor promulgated falsehoods concerning the basis for police action; she ignored the lack of legal grounds for such an action; she overruled objections to the timing of the eviction; and she made no reasonable effort to avoid police violence against students.
We therefore demand her immediate resignation.
