A internal campus climate report published months after the protest disbanded showed that the response towards protesters sowed distrust among Auraria campus students.

Meanwhile, dozens of students who weren't involved in the protest, but protective of the right to free speech and peaceful assembly, wrote in to campus leaders, expressing their discontent surrounding the 40 arrests in the opening days of the encampment.

I also saw two instances of Colleen Walker, Auraria's CEO, characterizing the protest as "not peaceful". Auraria is the coordinating body of the entire campus and employs the campus police department, which led the crackdown on the encampment on its Day 2.

I found a lot in these records.

Something that stuck out in my timeline was that campus leaders considered several ways to compromise after being urged to by local lawmakers. But ultimately, they didn't pursue those options.
