This Is Almost The Right Way To Handle This

Students staged a 2-month sit-in in the administrative offices of Reed College in Portland, Oregon (where else).  They didn't get what they wanted:

Student protesters at Reed College spent weeks occupying its administrative building, demanding the school cut its tie with Wells Fargo. Their activism wasn’t enough.

The college’s Investment Committee announced Tuesday it would reject the request from Reedies Against Racism to divest from the financial services giant...

In a flyer hung up on campus and posted on Facebook, protesters allege Reed College President John Kroger told two of the activists that they should transfer out of the college if they find it “so morally reprehensible.”

I hope he did. In fact, he should go further and kick them out of school.

All of them.

College students of today need to learn the right and the wrong ways to protest.  They should also learn that there are consequences to acting inappropriately.

“As long as their demonstrations do not interrupt college business, including classes and lectures, or run afoul of college policies it will be allowed. Dissent is a form of free speech and we are believers in academic freedom and free speech,” he said.

That is entirely the right way to handle things.  What's important is to follow through on the requirement about "run(ning) afoul of college policies".

College is a place to learn?  Learn the right way and the wrong way to challenge authority.  If you're going to do it the wrong way, you'd better win--or else face the penalties associated with misbehavior.
