Rick is absolutely correct the most effective protest is the one conducted with the almighty dollar bill. The one valid request the students are making is for the school having a transparent budget. Severing ties with HP and other companies over sweat shop labor is unrealistic. These students can continue tweeting from their sweatshop produced Apple devices in hypocritical bliss and shopping at Walmart until the cows come home. The other point these protesters and most college SJWs dont seem to understand is that in the REAL world you will have to do business with, interact with, compromise or negotiate with people and entities that you have significant disagreements with. The process of working with those entities does not mean that you will get your way. That is the lesson from the real business world is you wont always get your way but often will get something you can work with. Budget transparency is something I believe all publicly funded institutions should be required to provide the tax payers a clear accounting of what their dollars are used for.
