Protest and Response

Abstract

This issue of the Alfred News is devoted entirely to a single topic, one that was important enough to halt all normal campus activity by students and administrators for two days last December and prompt a continuing round of special meetings. On the premise that all members of the University family who live off-campus are entitled to full information about events vitally affecting their institution, this article examines the causes, the issues, and the outcomes, from the viewpoints of a number of persons who were most involved. The authors, Alan Littell and Robert Elliott, both former news-papermen, are respectively Director and Assistant Director of Public Information at Alfred University.
