its funny how it worked. The board was debating on if we ought to keep him or not. around 500 students (approx 10% of the undergrad student body), stormed the building where the board was meeting, and yelled outside with signs. Local TV crews showed up. Eventually, the board let 10 students in to ask questions. after they came back, the entire protest body met outside, exchanged infomation, and planned their next move.

The protests were such bad media pub, that alumni were starting to stop donating. At that point, the board had to listen to the students
