After a hearing Thursday, LSU has handed down its punishment for a student arrested while protesting during a presidential search committee meeting in October.

LSU found Gabriela Juárez, who was arrested and sent to East Baton Rouge Parish Prison after going over her allotted time during public comment, responsible for failure to comply and obstruction but not responsible for disorderly conduct, Juárez told the Reveille.

Juárez said she received a two-semester warning and will be required to complete a university Moodle course, but she was not placed on university probation. 

Juárez was one of seven students arrested at the Oct. 1 meeting, all members of the activist student organization Students for a Democratic Society. The other six were arrested after following Juárez outside as she was detained and blocking the police car that carried her from leaving.

Juárez was officially charged with resisting an officer and interfering with an educational practice.

The presidential search committee ultimately narrowed down three finalists for the university’s open presidential position, and the LSU Board of Supervisors selected Wade Rousse as the system president and appointed James Dalton, another finalist, to the revived position of chancellor over the Baton Rouge campus.
