The following is quoted from the above article:

“The VCU branch of the United Campus Workers of Virginia union (UCWVA-VCU), representing VCU faculty and staff, released a lengthy statement largely condemning the use of police intervention Monday evening.

“There can be no justification for such an unmitigated display of brutality against students exercising their rights to free speech on their own campus,” the statement reads. “The encampment built by VCU students today was an act of love, bravery, and solidarity. They spoke out for the humanity of others, only to see their school rob them of their own.”

The union went on to say that they believe the use of riot gear, tear gas, pepper spray and other weapons on students is unjustifiable.

“Without students, there can be no university,” the statement reads. “VCU students acted tonight in concert with students across the country who are standing up against the genocide unfolding before our eyes in Gaza.”
