Very very quickly, on October 7th, the words October 7th forever was spray painted on the facade of Baruch.
1:10:04
I sent a staff member that down.
1:10:06
We took pictures of it.
1:10:07
We sent the Jewish caucus sent another letter to president Wu.
1:10:11
One of the demands we made in the letter was that an apology was sent out to the Jewish students at Baruch.
1:10:19
Was that done?

I have to ask I know that president Wu sent a letter to the students, so I don't know exactly about the apology, but we can check into that.
Julie Menin
1:10:29
Yeah.
1:10:29
I

know he wrote to the students.
1:10:30
Yes.
Julie Menin
1:10:31
I'd like we'd like to get an answer to that.
1:10:33
My understanding is that was not done, and so we wanna get an immediate answer to that as well.
1:10:37
I do have other questions, but I know my time is up.
1:10:39
So we'll go on the second round.
