"A short time later," the finding of fact alleges, "Mr. Berg seized Dean Watson from behind by grabbing both of his upper arms, and he pushed Dean Watson from the building against Dean Watson's wishes and resistance by propelling him through one of the exterior doors of the building and into a crowd of people who were gathered on the steps."

Finally; the Committee of 15 alleges that "Mr. Berg was personally told by Dean Watson to leave the building, and Mr. Berg refused to leave."
