She's a real tool.

Dunn Meadow has been a free speech zone since the 1960's with seldom a problem and generally small groups for whatever the protest. There were Die-In protests there in early 70s, but that's about as peaceful as it gets. With all the deaths of Children in Gaza, both sides, a Die-In might be a totally appropriate protest anywhere now.

confidence in her so now she’s visiting schools and departments on a “listening tour” to see if pretending she cares about IU will take the heat off so she can continue to funnel massive amounts of corporate and military money to certain projects and people. Her #2 is all public relations to cover working against the best interests of the university - she seems to be following his lead now.

that most of them just showed up when they saw the mob building - they weren’t called in, they correctly interpreted events on TV and showed up as volunteers. It was individual police officers showing up at the capitol that held much of the mob back until Senators and Representatives called in the type of law enforcement needed. He was being interviewed by Nicole on MSNBC - I don’t recall his name.
