Harris sent emails to faculty and students, linking to the video. Police are looking for Harris, and again the school is closed to in person classes.

The City is rushing to demolish the structure to create facts on the ground, and to discourage the property owners who oppose its replacement by a high end homeless shelter. The doomed structure won a reprieve in December, when Superior Court Judge Michael Beckloff granted an injunction against demolition, on grounds that CEQA had not been complied with by the City.
