Subjective writers from The Sun gathered for a roundtable discussion to examine student protest culture on campus. Our writers considered how attitudes towards protests have changed, discourse vs. disruption, and the University administration’s impact on our protest behavior.
The Sun Roundtable series is a recurring discussion that invites writers from Opinion, Arts & Culture, and Lifestyle to deliberate on contemporary and contentious issues affecting Cornellians.
