Consequently, Miller and Cheley have decided to boycott Borders. They encouraged their family and friends to do the same. Those at Borders offer an opposing view. If people need a table, students need to move. However, store manager Nicole Pinsky claims that the store thrives on students who wish to hang out there.
Consequently students accumulate at alternative spots, like book stores and coffee shops.
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day this year, when many UCLA services were unavailable to students, Pinsky recalled that over 400 students were scattered throughout the store. However, Pinsky was left to fend for herself. She did, however, mention an ongoing study concerning UCLA's current use of space. The hope is to make more student space. The direction of this change remains to be seen.
