Campus Connection: Protesters storm hotel, shout down head of conservative think tank

A sometimes tense but mostly uneventful press conference late Tuesday morning at the DoubleTree sprang to life after a diverse group of some 150 people stormed the downtown Madison hotel?s lobby, then forced their way into the adjacent banquet room where the press conference was wrapping up. The 11 a.m. press conference featured Roger Clegg, the president of the Center for Equal Opportunity. He was formally announcing two studies by the CEO that purport to show whites and Asians aren?t getting a fair crack at being admitted to the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
