… make sure that the person you’re protesting is actually there to hear you.
I don’t know a lot about protesting, I went to Miami where you wear your Dockers and join the Young Republicans club like you’re told, so it’s not surprising that when they finally give it a try they screw it up.
Doesn’t the young generation understand. You don’t need to protest something that you can just choose to sleep through.

Perhaps it is easy to sterotype, but I have always found it the unwise who do so.
Miami is a campus of diversity in student backgounds and ideas. To portray everyone wearing Dockers and joining conservative ideologies shows you know nothing of your alamater.
President Hodge disconnects himself from the student body, instead choosing to appeal to those who give funds and make him feel important while basking in their shadows. How are students to know his location? There were individuals in his house the night of the protest.
His lack of person on campus only validated our point further. A man disconnected from the student body should not rule over our future and safety.
This was not about beer over class. It was about treating off campus students equally with those who live in the dorms, and wanting our college to provide safety and welfare of students, staff, and faculty over change in the pocket.
Miami gave us a voice, but when we exercise our rights people were arrested or pysically repremanded by police. Media was told to leave public property, with “or else” uttered from cops.
What you value as demure took 40 cop cars to hold upwards of 4000 students. Protest happen frequently at Miami, hosted by students who believe in Living Wages and peace abroad.
Perhaps you should connect to the present student body. You might learn something.

Well said, Lovey, although I’ll strenuously disagree with the diversity comment. Miami has one of the least diverse student profiles in the country.
