As I predicted a few weeks ago, the recent campus protests against Ray Kelly and his Stop & Frisk policies have elicited a strong reaction from both the University and President Paxson. In order to aid those students likely to be reprimanded for their noble (if foolishly implemented) protest, I wanted to take a moment to outline what President Paxson was attempting to do with her e-mail, and what her likely plans are regarding the committee she seeks to establish. In another post, I’ll suggest some ways for the protestors to minimize the potential fallout and achieve some concrete aims.
