Peaceful Protest?

Has anyone heard of the recent NYU sit in? From what I can gather students, not just NYU students, barricaded themselves in the NYU cafeteria to protest current practices in the university. Students that participated in the protest were there to voice their opinion about how the univeristy handels some of it's finances. There were said to ask that the school discolose various donation, funds, and salaries for stuff and faculty members. In my opinion that sounds completly reasonable. The students have a right to know that information, at least the ones that attend. That is my opinio0n anyway. This is where I think it goes a little over the line. In addition to the aforementioned informaiton the students also demanded that the university donate money to rebuild a school that was destroyed in the fighting at between the terrorists and the Isralie forces. Moreover they demanded that NYU also make a recurring scholarship that will go towards a Paliastinian student. Yea I know too, it sounds a little ridicilous. Anyway it ended with a bunch of students getting suspended. I say ask for something outrageous you get an outrageous answer. There are plenty of ways to get their message across other than controlling a university building for 3 days. . . In addition, they should have had some reasonable demands, like the information being discolsed. Then maybe the school would meet them, but what they asked for was not going to happen.
