NEW: Men at a Western NC prison were stuck in cells without running water for nearly a week after Helene. Family members told me their loved ones had to defecate in plastic bags after their toilets filled up.

BREAKING: Top administrator Gerald Rosberg confirmed on Friday that senior administrators, without input from the University Senate, unilaterally revised the University events policies that were cited in the SJP and JVP suspension announcement.
