UPDATE: SFSU documents show divided reactions to Riley Gaines attack

After months of back and forth with San Francisco State University (SFSU), the university has finally released all documents related to the Apr. 6 attack on conservative speaker and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines. Documents reveal that SFSU has face heavy amounts of criticism for its handling of the event.

Criticism of the university comes from two main groups: those condemning the university for allowing the “appalling” assault on Gaines to occur, and transgender advocates calling for the removal of Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) presence from the university altogether.  

Regarding emails in the first group, one individual named Remington Janssen emailed SFSU on Apr. 10 and stated that “The inaction to maintain the safety of the young woman Ms. Gaines was frankly appalling. Politics or not, I expect the students that assaulted her to be punished and the school to make a formal apology.” 

Anthony Rivera—another individual—said in an email addressed to Vice President for Student Affairs & Enrollment Management Jamillah Moore that “I demand to know what action you’re going to take against the violent mob that attacked Riley Gaines on your campus.” He continued with “If you support feminism in the slightest bit, please stand up for women in the face of oppression.”
