I guess I was wrong.  Katie Johnson tweeted about 50 people ended up protesting.  My guess is that half of them were there only because they saw a camera and wanted to try and get on the news.  But they have every right to protest…even if it is a giant waste of time…

Dear protesters,

Please head to the Broward County Main Jail off Andrews by 3 o'clock for another protest.  A goverment run jail.  From the Sun Sentinel:

"In the 1970s, a group of inmates sued, saying that overcrowding violated their civil rights. A federal monitor still keeps an eye on jail conditions as a result of that lawsuit."

Jails and prisons are bad places, sometimes bad things happen there.

Surprisingly, it looks like close to half are students…….

To be fair, in America, we allow people to peacefully protest things.  If they want to waste their time, that's their right.  Just like it's FAU's right to ignore them.

The UP's Twitter has been giving on-the-scene updates and it's pretty interesting.

The faculty rep to the President threatened to quit if Saunders didn't meet with the students. Saunders wouldn't come out but brought in 3 students and told them to turn their phones off so the convo wasn't recorded. She didn't revoke the deal and instead said she would meet students on Friday. Sounds like she needs time to prepare.

I continue to be underwhelmed by Saunders. Brogan would have handled this better.

Didn't half the things GEOGroup was cited for happen before the FAU Alum become president of GeoGroup?
