“I requested the Administrator on Duty to come to University Police,” noted the reporting officer in a March police report, “She advised to Mr. Christoffersen that she will generate a report about the incident he observed — but getting people to stop removing posters on his door would be difficult, as it is most likely different perpetrators in every instance.”
The vandalism continued, just as the Bentley University administrator expected it would in the report. A second police report filed two weeks after Christoffersen was attacked on...
