I agree that your needs have not been met.
I also doubt that there will be little real work done by the University through this kind of protest model because there will be little impetus for them to do so, long term.

The University runs on a shared governance model.
The Fraternity and Sorority system has had total control over Undergraduate Student Government (USG) for many, many years now. USG is the body that has made, or ignored, the majority of policy for students on campus. It works well for Student Life, because the Greek system love to pad their resumes, but rarely puts up any real fights with the administration.

If you want real change on campus, you have to create a coalition that takes on the Greek system for governmental control of the student body.
If you want to question why undergrads haven’t gotten what they’ve needed in terms of real support, look to your mostly affluent, white peers that have been pulling the strings for themselves for at least the past decade.

Good luck to you.
