Cal Poly Humboldt University President Tom Jackson Jr. announced Thursday that he is stepping down after a five-year run that included national attention this spring over a campus crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests.
Cal Poly Humboldt University President Tom Jackson Jr. announced Thursday that he is leaving his post at the rural Northern California institution next month, less than four months after the campus drew national attention for its crackdown on pro-Palestinian protests. In a statement, the university’s first Black president called the Arcata-based school “an amazing place with special people.
After resisting attempts by police in riot gear to remove them from a building, students renamed it “Intifada Hall.” They scrawled slogans such as “land back,” “destroy all colonial walls” and “pigs not allowed” up and down its corridors and wrote “BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS” across the wood-paneled walls of Jackson's office. School officials closed the campus on April 22 in what was supposed to have been a temporary shuttering.
