Less than an hour before the protest, the university announced that it had arrested and charged Matthew Frazier and Matthew Rawlings with class 1 misdemeanor assault.

Those familiar with the incident were angered that the two student culprits were initially referred to a social justice training program instead of facing jail time. The University of Arizona Police Department categorized it as a “minor injury,” but the campus’ Black Student Union disagreed.
