As an Afterthought...

I don't want to go overboard with the blogging in one day, but I figured as long as I'm using the internet, I'd give a little update on the protests. Turns out, we did end up going on strike. Last week the students boycotted classes Monday through Wednesday. The chancellor is supposed to shut down the university if the strike goes on for three days, but since he did that last year, he will lose his job if he does it again. Instead, he expelled 300 students who weren’t in class on Wednesday (rather than bring back the 25 students who were suspended in the first place)…

Now we are having a re-election for DARUSO president, but Odong’ isn’t on the ballot. I don’t think they even tried to justify it this time. Things definitely operate a little differently here…
