"I think it brought to light problems we've had with the whole administrative authority, and it shows we need to change the executive structure of the university." -Arielle Murth, sophomore in SPA
"The biggest impact is the distrust I think the students and faculty and staff have of the leadership and also the mismanaging of funds. The students were talking about this for years and the students were disregarded, and it wasn't until some non-student said something. It was not news and no one acted on what the students were saying." -Sarah Stiles, director of the SPA Leadership Program
"I think it was a time when students realized they have power, and if they exercised it, they could mostly get what they wanted instead of things working in a top-down power structure." -Travis McArthur, junior in SIS
"I would say it caused the whole campus to actually organize around something they felt passionately about. I think before that, people were lying down and not paying close enough attention because things were supposedly going well." -Aaron Pinter-Petrillo, junior in SPA
"We're now much more self-conscious about where our money goes and how it's being spent as a result of what happened. I think it was crucial that our university have more transparent governance as well as more accountability." -Patrick Jackson, professor in SIS
"It's been very positive because the university put together a committee to find out how to make the board of trustees more accountable. It seems like it's been a very positive outcome, something that will make the board's decisions more transparent." -Glenn Moomau, literature professor
