On Monday, she was taken to court where she entered a not-guilty plea. Rosing’s lawyer, Fred Peters, said about his client, “She’s a very, very embarrassed and humiliated young lady”. It has now been reported that Rosing will be withdrawing from the university and will be going for sensitivity training.

Eli Capilouto, the university’s president, later sent out a message for the students. He said that Rosing’s actions “reflect violence, which is never acceptable, and a denial of the humanity of members of our community. They do not reflect civil discourse. They are deeply antithetical to what we are and what we always want to be as a community,”
