UPDATE: April 28, 3:47 p.m.
The Daily Illini spoke with a University student taking graduation pictures at Foellinger Auditorium during the protest.
DI: We noticed that you were taking pictures in the background. There was a whole protest going on. Did that ruin any of your previous plans for pictures or did you just still continue with your grad pictures as usual?
Student: I would just continue with my pictures.
DI: And then do you plan to take pictures with that in the background or are you trying to, you know, just get the Union in the background?
Student: I just wanted them in the background too. I mean, it’s historical stuff. I think it is important. It’s just they have their own values, and I have my own values. I still support them.
