I have mixed feelings on this whole issue. I have heard some of the students talking about their issues, and some do have their merit. Unfortunately, this whole Tent U thing was clouded with confusion. Many people that I talked to, in town and on campus, basically had no idea what it was really about.

Police: I think the whole conflict could have been avoided, and I think both sides played into how things worked out monday.

Media: I checked this comments page one before, and there were more comments by people who disagreed, which I think is healthy for any media source. I would be very concerned if opposing views were removed.

Luis: You seem to be making some vague threat toward people, about how they should be in fear of some class uprising. Personally, I dont see how that is in any way productive.

Students: A cohesive message would really help people understand what you are trying to do. Casting anyone who doesnt understand (or even who initially disagrees with you) as an enemy limits your audience. The impression that you create, on all sides, is what makes or breaks you. Remember that you are trying to win people over, to convince them, not conquer them.
