The G-20 madness is finally over. After much emotional upheaval, the city can finally get back to normal. But we still can not forget the chaos that ensued in this city, on our campus.

Blame the protesters.

Blame the cops.

But mostly, blame the University.

There was no reason for our campus to remain open this weekend. What would have been the result of closing the buildings, including the dorms, like every other college in the city? A few more days of class over Thanksgiving or Christmas break?

Instead, those who kept the school open allowed their students to get tear gassed and shot with rubber bullets outside of the places they pay the University to live. Had the dorms been closed, the "riots" in Oakland would not have happened, as the "rioters" were simply students curious about the police-state induced outside their windows.

It's too late for the University to do anything but apologize. While it's not much, their simple apology for failing to properly handle the situation would at least show the students that the University at least cares about their well being, something that was not shown this weekend.
