Walk-through of Portland State University’s library after three-night occupation reveals damage: ‘It’s ugly’; The Oregonian, May 2, 2024

 , The Oregonian; Walk-through of Portland State University’s library after three-night occupation reveals damage: ‘It’s ugly’

"By midday, Cudd, the university president, said she was grateful for the support of the mayor, police chief and district attorney to return the library to the school’s control but decried the extensive damage.

“We must take care of all of our students and provide a safe learning environment,” she said. “It is tragic that some of our students, along with others from outside, have so badly damaged our library and taken away that essential learning space. You know, as a philosophy professor and the daughter of librarians, that space is really a sacred space. And I’m really so sad to see what has happened to them.”

Cudd said she also had received reports from campus security and staff of potential thefts of rare archival material, including its full Dark Horse Comics collection."
