Protestors stated that one student was "nearing toxic shock" with symptoms such as pain, nausea and feeling feverish but was still not being allowed to use the restroom without being removed from the premises. The student decided to remove their tampon within the sit-in.

Administrators have sent 3 emails about the sit-in at Kirkland Hall. The Hustler identified inconsistencies in these statements, including naming a nonexistent government office and claiming that reporter Eli Motycka was “detained” rather than arrested.
