Wouldn't it be easier to just load them all up in one of their planes?

Some try to make the solution more difficult than it should be. I would also add arrest those that are using "fighting words" to incite violence, if those individuals were told to stop and refused.

Could you cite some examples of the "fighting words" being spoken that quality for prosecution?

It's the first time since 1966.   What should we glean from this development?  Tremendous,  tremendous, species.  We must protect them at all costs.  They're steadily coming back despite evil humans.
Excellent news that Blue Whales are thriving again. There is a film about their return to The Seychelles

It sounds like a rodent scholarship almost.
It is worse. Not keeping up with the Joneses or Hurley.

When is the last time MU has had a preferred walk-on?  I’m only familiar with this term because the Badgers seem to do it quite often; I believe Carter Gilmore was a preferred walk-on before being given a scholarship after his freshman season (could be totally wrong about that, though).

So, I guess my understanding of a “preferred” walk-on is that a scholarship isn’t out of the question if there’s one open and the team has no one else to use it on.  But I admittedly have a very limited understanding.

Marquette has had them all the time. As JB is alluding to, it doesn't really mean anything.

We had a very interesting meeting yesterday with our college attorney about the guidelines around protests of any sort. (There are zero protests here so this was more a thought exercise at this point.)

Keep in mind that at a private school, we don't have to allow anything. But being an educational institution, allowing protests and demonstrations can be part of the learning process. However there is a line between saying things like "Get out of Gaza" and "From the River to the Sea."

And also, while students should not be threatened or harassed, students feeling "uncomfortable" about a protest isn't necessarily a problem. Dealing with opinions different than your own is part of the educational process. You can't become resilient by living in a bubble.

What is that guarantee?
Why don't you call Shaka and ask him? Some schools guarantee a spot, and are next in line if a scholarship miraculously opens up, others guarantee a walk on spot without having to "try out".

I can't believe I have to explain what's happening here, but here goes. Elite students of Ivy League schools have glamorized oppression so much that they have now reached role play status to satisfy their fantasies. Here, the students have appropriated the suffering of Gazans and are cosplaying as living through humanitarian crisis. In their American make-believe story where Ivy League infrastructure sets the scene, the students play Gazans and the school administration plays Israel.

Israel (the school) is blocking their "basic humanitarian aid" in this play, and if they don't receive it soon, they will "die of thirst and starvation" (appropriating exact experiences of Gazans). They also destroy upper class buildings and claim them as "liberated" while the students repeat chants in zombie-like chorus, playing the roll of "freedom fighters" destroying Israeli infrastructure and claiming them freed. If I'm alive in a world where people don't see the levels of perversion in this, I give up.

You don't see this in lower tier schools from kids of lower socio-economic standing because they aren't plagued with the guilt of privilege that they're seeking to launder through Middle East role plays of feigned suffering. This is as first world dystopia as it gets.

Meanwhile, these Ivy League students who can have much more than a glass of water and as much food as their stomachs can take are commanding the attention of the media and the entire American audience, while actual Gazans who need humanitarian aid are ignored. I still have to pinch myself that people don't see this.

Like a lot of people, you need to be online less. Go plant a garden or something.

EDIT: You are literally posting pictures of the student protestors from wealthy backgrounds on a Marquette messsage board. Think about how strange that is.
