Miss Blacklisted SMFA

It was the afternoon of October 18, 2022, five months after I had graduated from the Masters of Fine Arts program at the School at the Museum of Fine Arts. It was my day off from work, so I wasn’t expecting anyone to come to my house, yet someone knocked at my apartment door. I opened it to find two Tufts University Police Department officers wearing regular black suits. They served me a “No Trespass Order.” It states that I am “forbidden to enter any property owned by or under the control of Tufts University”—otherwise I will be arrested.
