Hey, look, yet another campus settling this peacefully. It's almost like the university presidents that called in armed police to their campuses to handle their own students made an incredibly stupid mistake and should be forever banned from leading an educational institution.
It won't get the attention it deserves because it happened here and it's decidedly un-sensational, but the UWM administration's response to our student encampment is an object lesson in the virtues of restraint and non-escalation, and should be a national model
Protesters have until Tuesday morning to take down the tents. They also agreed not to disrupt commencement, which will be held May 19.
ain't rocket science
It's almost like the students weren't the violent ones... And, it's almost like calling in the cops was only a mistake in one, very narrow, sense. Sending the riot cops to crack skulls (or standing by, while rw thugs do it) produces the scenes of chaos that serves the current republican narrative.
Like treating the students as high functioning humans is a valid option? Madness
Yay, for my Alma mater for doing the right thing. 👏👏
It’s serving as a pretty definitive test of leadership ability imho
University presidents who called in the cops should be stripped of their peerages.
They shouldn't be leading a one-man band.
