UNC Protest Leads To Damage At Campus Building

A rally at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the issue of how police have handled disputes between groups for and against the Condederate Silent Sam monument ended with the breaking of a window. It happened while students who call themselves anti-racist and anti-fascist were delivering a list of demands to the school's interim chancellor.

Campus police say the Chapel Hill protesters found their destination closed Wednesday, so some of them pounded on the building, shattering at least one window. The News & Observer reports no one was injured or charged.

The protesters have been demonstrating for months about the Confederate Silent Sam monument and its removal. They say police unfairly target them at events where they clash with supporters of the statue.

This week Interim Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz named members to a new commission on campus policing. He said an outside consultant will review previous clashes.

The commission's first meeting is expected to be in early May.
