When It Just Won’t Stick

UNFPD was dispatched to Bldg. 51, Rm. 1208 in response to a report of criminal mischief.

Upon arrival, a staff member told officials he had previously had a “Safe Space” sticker from the LGBT Resource Center displayed on the cork board outside of his office. However, the original sticker had reportedly been damaged by an unknown suspect.

According to the police report, the staff member had received a replacement “Safe Space” sticker and attached it to his cork board along with “a note condemning the actions of the previous sticker mutilation and affirming a safe space for any student.”

The police report states the staff member last saw the sticker and note intact on Monday, July 9 at noon. However, he reportedly returned to his office on Wednesday, July 11 at 12:30 p.m. and discovered that an unknown suspect had ripped both the new sticker and note and left them attached to his cork board.

There have also been other instances of “Safe Space” stickers being vandalized over the course of the summer.
