Your college experience isnâ??t complete until you take over at least one campus building. At least, that might have made sense back in the 1960s, when the student movement spilled over into the public consciousness and it seemed, if only for a moment, that everything was worth protesting.
If times have changed, so have the tactics for both modern-day campus protesters and those who find themselves on the receiving end of student activism: college administrators. â??Many of the people who now are leaders of universities were students in the â??60s when demonstrations seemed to be â?¦ extremely energetic,â? said Kent Hubbell, dean of students at Cornell University. â??Hopefully, we will have learned from that experience in our current roles.â?
