I'm surprised the author didn't reach the obvious conclusion: "public opinion" has no power if there is no consequence for defying it

Case in point: A few years ago my college took a poll of the student body on the issue of converting to a semester scheduling system. The majority of students voted against it, only to have the administration come out and say that we will be making the change. These type of things happen all the time, on every level, and something needs to change about it.
