Here's the NY Times on this incident

Wednesday is the final day of classes for the spring quarter at Stanford. A security guard stationed on the Main Quad warned students who were bicycling or walking to their last classes of the academic year that they would see disturbing graffiti. The spray-painted slogans included “Pigs Taste Best Dead” and “Death 2 Israehell."

.....

A gathering of students, several of them wearing kaffiyehs, watched the dismantling. Students there said the university administration had acted in a cowardly fashion by not warning them that the camp would be removed or telling them how they could retrieve their belongings. None of the students agreed to be quoted by name.

Last bit got a chuckle out of me.

Anyone know how they clean paint off the sandstone buildings of the quad? That's gotta be tough

Not all that difficult. Sandblast it. Back from 1968 through 1972 the Stanford maintenance folks got quite good at that. Lots of practice.  They actually had more problems with some of the concrete. Of course painted concrete has to be repainted and the "patched area" doesn't blend in well.
