Research Topic #2

After today's class discussion my interest has been aroused. I think I'd like to research and write about the effects of protest in a college environment. How the school acknowledges student protests and whether they are able to truly have any effect on the subject in question. I think it would be cool to interview some deans and faculty and learn their opinion on the effectiveness of collegiate protests and if they themselves lend their alleigence to the student body when and if they do protest. I also want to know how truly willing the general student body at Rutgers is to really protest. Is protesting something that has lost it's appeal for students in the 21st century. Can students coordinate using social networks and technology to make an effective protest and demand what we want and how willing are we to do it? I want to know how many people wake up everyday and ask themselves what they are going to do about something that they want changed. How many students know the proper methods to actually inhibit a change? Are there channels through which students can voice their opinion effectively in lieu of protesting. Can students acquire what they want to achieve without protesting like..what are the methods that can be used and will be heard by the faculty and deans.
