After police from the University of Pennsylvania and the city of Philadelphia “disbanded” Penn’s pro-Hamas encampment Friday morning, assorted faculty and students later gathered at the city’s famous LOVE Statue to express their grief.

The Daily Pennsylvanian reports “several speakers and audience members” broke down in tears while describing scuffles with law enforcement.

Sukaina Hirji, who teaches Ancient Greek, contemporary moral, and feminist philosophy, said she was “pretty shaken” and “very f**king angry” at the encampment’s dismantlement at which nine Penn students (33 protesters in total) were arrested.

English professor Chi-ming Yang, who specializes in “the literary and visual culture of race and empire,” said she “had made a pledge” that if law enforcement “touched any [Penn] students” she would “be there with them.”
