The issues have run from rancid butter to the American Revolution, impersonal universities to the Vietnam War, campus curfews to apartheid.
Student protest has a long and proud tradition.
UVM students have been part of the tradition. Students have protested segregation in campus sororities, Burlington motels, and Southern lunch counters. They have protested Kake Walk, lack of ethnic diversity, investments in South Africa. They have confronted the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, CIA recruiting and environmental degradation. One protest dealt almost entirely with a paternalistic dean of men.
