The dean of the Kent State University Stark Campus, who resigned abruptly last week, did so after being stopped by security while spray-painting a parking sign on neighboring Stark State College of Technology’s campus.
The incident prompted a police report, but no charges have been filed.
Betsy Boze in an interview today said she “was simply correcting an error on the sign.”
Spray-paint was used to deface two signs on Stark State’s campus, according to police. Boze said the spray-paint was “not graffiti.
“But it was simply removing an arrow pointing to the parking lot that was incorrect and correcting it,” she said.
Boze declined to elaborate when pressed with more questions.
“I want to give you more, but I can’t,” she said.
She submitted her resignation Thursday, effective Friday.
Jackson Township Police continue to investigate the incident, which occurred at 11 a.m. Feb. 15. That was a Sunday when regular classes weren’t in session…
Two signs were altered during the incident — one sign on the east-end of the campus, near the main entrance and one on the west end of the campus…

So the philistines at Kent State can’t appreciate a little performance art.

Funny time for a performance. Sunday morning. No audience. Except the police.

Considering most performance art I have seen, that is the ideal time and setting.
