There, stu­ dents banged on the door and screamed, "Let us in." Kozun fell out another door to the office with Wall in front of her and McGreevey standing behind her. They then shut the door, according to Kozun and other witnesses. Kozun claimed that she was as­ saulted by college officials at this time. The protesters contacted the National Lawyers Guild of New York City, which helped locate two Ithaca attorneys who agreed to con­ sult with the students regarding these claims. Maley said the Guild contacted the college Wednesday, alleging that several students had been as­ saulted by college officials during the various demonstrations. "No one was assaulted by any Ithaca College official during the course of the demonstrations or sit­ ins," Maley said.
