How do you drive a group of determined students out of a sit-in protest? If all else fails, you could try shutting off their Internet access.
Students at the University of Virginia have hunkered down in Madison Hall, an administrative building on the campus, seeking a higher minimum wage for university employees. But campus officials, arguing that the protest is disruptive, have moved to block the students’ access to creature comforts. That means prohibiting the protesters’ friends from bringing food and course work, and it also means turning off the hall’s wireless network.
Internet or no, the students say they aren’t budging. (The Cavalier Daily)
