Failure to plan on your part CanonRay Apr 30 #1

Did we watch the same video? That's not what I heard her say. mahatmakanejeeves Apr 30 #2

"I guess its a matter of do you want students to starve or die of dehydration because they disagree with you" RandySF Apr 30 #8

That was stupid on her part. If she paid for a meal plan, she can go to the cafeteria to eat her meal. mahatmakanejeeves Apr 30 #11

How do you get a meal on campus if you are expelled? ripcord Apr 30 #13

Yeah, there's that too. I'm not one of the protesters. mahatmakanejeeves Apr 30 #15
