Fanning holds administrative offices, including that of President Bergeron, and various classrooms. Students entered the building equipped with supplies to last up to five days, including sleeping pads and bags, suitcases filled with necessities and limited food supplies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As student activists entered Fanning, campus security attempted to stop the protest, entering buildings and banging on locked doors. Students quickly moved upstairs and barricaded themselves on the upper floors. Campus Safety chased students around the area; a student said that one officer called out, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be f*cking kidding me. Stop. Stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While student activists locked themselves in Fanning, large crowds of students gathered across campus, attempting to divert the attention of campus security away from the academic building. Students drove around campus, honking horns and blaring music. Others gathered in the MOBROC Barn to play music as loudly as possible. Various songs, through speakers and the voices of hundreds of students, rang out across campus. Students in South Campus screamed and chanted for change. One student even blared a trumpet while walking alongside Tempel Green.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In accordance with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thecollegevoice.org\/2023\/02\/23\/sve-releases-student-demands-ahead-of-bot-visit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student Voices for Equity\u2019s list of demands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should the BOT fail to meet our demands, SVE is devoted to advocating until they are met.
