Police arrested Chapel Hill senior Madeleine Scanlon along with three other students for protesting at a UNC Board of Governor’s meeting. Officials charged the group with disrupting an official meeting and resisting arrest after advocating for social issues. Police charged Scanlon with a felony for assaulting an officer. Authorities have since dropped that charge.
Scanlon is a double major in Spanish and Women’s and Gender Studies. She is a member of the Real Silent Sam Coalition and focuses on racial and social justice issues on campus.
