A protest encampment has been set up at University Yard and because that encampment coincides with the final exam period for GW law students, we are taking steps to relocate student exams so that they can be taken in a quiet and secure location.

Now let me emphasize, there is nothing threatening your safety that is going on at this moment, but yet you our primary concern. To protect your safety and the integrity of our academic program, we are relocating student final exams.

— Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew of George Washington University Law School, in a video message to law students, informing them that their final exams would be relocated due to the ongoing anti-war protest occurring on campus near original law student test sites.
