Safety and Security of Our Campus Community are Paramount
On Feb. 13, 2024, 51ĀŅĀ× PD arrested Cleveland Heights resident Alec Popivker on felony charges of aggravated menacing and ethnic intimidation stemming from a complaint filed by 51ĀŅĀ× students on Feb. 5, 2024.
While this latest arrest is connected to this specific and serious incident, Popivker has a history and pattern of alleged harassment on our 51ĀŅĀ× campus. In all, there have been 10 police reports filed about Popivkerās alleged harassing or inappropriate behavior since April 2022.
He is currently under a suspended jail term and serving 18 months of probation for stealing a banner in November 2022 from the 51ĀŅĀ× student group Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. At that time, Popivker was barred from being on the 51ĀŅĀ× campus and given āPersona Non Grataā status. The conditions of his probation included practicing good behavior.
The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is paramount.
