Summary: Protesters vs. Administration

• protesters narrowed their demands to 2: reopen the search process
and no reprisals

• jk will talk to protesters only when they stop the lockdown

• yesterday several protesters openly discussed the possibility that
BOT and admin have something to hide by sticking to jk and not wanting
anyone else to be ikj’s successor

• ikj looks like a lost soul and protesters have lost respect for him;
some feel very sorry for him

• protesters need more foods and drinks; they need something to keep
them warm in cold temperatures

• protesters have big surprises for BOT and admin in next few days if
stalemate remains

• parents should get involved in protest to understand and protect
their children if anything bad happens

• mike moore may end up serving as interim president until campus
situation improves; bob davila is another top candidate for interim
president mentioned by protesters

• protesters want to hold BOT responsible for current crisis even
though they left ikj to clean up his own mess

• ikj is frustrated because he cannot control students like he control
fearful employees

• ikj and jk have not been hanging with students, faculty and staff in
cafeteria and other places like past presidents; they don’t understand
problems they caused and why people don’t trust them

• protesters have many leaders and outsiders don’t know who are
running the show

• protesters want parents, friends, alumni, students, faculty, and
staff to help educate biased media about reasons for protest

• more protest supporters will come out in the open when it is safe

• protesters warned that administration is playing divide and conquer
games to breakup protest and lockdown

• late night rally at gally is more fun with subway food store
employees supporting protest because of good business
