Campus Security immobilized a vehicle for misuse of a disabled placard. The individual received a $40 parking citation. Parking in a handicap spot usually costs $300, but the person was parked in a staff stall with a placard that didn’t belong to them. The placard was confiscated and destroyed by security. 

Nov. 5 – 3:55 p.m.

Two students reported a student to security for yelling out racial slurs in front of Luria Library by the flagpoles. The suspect was lying on the lawn and making racial statements: “Why do these white youths want to be like black men? You came from good families, you’re privileged, why do you like a [n-word] stan?”
