Okay.
2:13:19
Thank you very much, chair.
2:13:21
So I just wanna review some of the questions that you were not able to answer today because I do think it is outrageous that when we're having this hearing on such an important topic that the most rudimentary questions you've been unable to answer.
2:13:36
I'm just gonna summarize a few of them.
2:13:38
How many complaints to the portal?
2:13:40
How many students had to show ID at protests?
2:13:43
How many students have been arrested for this conduct?
2:13:46
How many faculty have been disciplined?
2:13:48
So these are all questions that this panel has asked that you cannot provide answers to.

It it's just wholly unsatisfactory.
2:14:01
It's not enough just to show up.
2:14:02
I mean, we really need the whole point of today is to get answers and to have actionable items.
