A few alumni were told to leave campus by the university president and campus police chief for handing out a petition to the board of directors.
The group, who call themselves Concerned UST Alumni, posted a video and audio of the incident on YouTube on Nov. 2.
In part of the video, the alumni can be seen greeting a board member as he walks through the door before the Oct. 27 meeting, and handling him a package and saying, "This is from the alumni."

"Correct, yes." replies Ivany.
When Malone asks what's wrong with communicating directly with board members, Ivany said that he is not willing to discuss it. Malone states in the video that she has asked the Board Chair Herbert Edmundson to share their petition with the board and he refused.

"Once the board meeting starts, you're going to leave, right?" someone
To close off the installation ceremony, Ms. Fern Bren, the Assistant Principal of Pupil Personnel Services, gave a moving speech to all the students and thanked everyone for coming and thanked Ms. Filomena Daniels, the Arista/Archon Coordinator and even gave her a bouquet of flowers.

• The speaker seems credible, based on her position as a daughter of an alumnus. But most things that were stated were mere opinions. And to me he friend who works in the admissions office has no credibility. She does not see everybody that comes to the admissions office. When is the last time you saw an admissions office with only one chair for one person. With that said, she is basing her statistic on the people that she handles, and not the school as an entire.
Last weekend a group of Georgia Tech alumni stayed at the Yellow Jacket Inn in Atlanta to attend the Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt football. After the game one of the alumni walked into his room and saw an intruder inside stealing his clothes and going through his personal items. The intruder physically attacked the alumni and stole his wallet. The alumni was left with a bloody nose, black eye, and a broken wrist.
“We might have to take you off the field for the rest of the quarter?” the other said.
Once I finally found his office that was in the west side of campus in Nichols Hall research building, he wasn’t in his office. The only way that I knew it was his office was by seeing his name on the board. When he finally arrived I was puzzled to see that
The Norwalk hour covered the story before the majority of the campus found out. The article focused solely on the changes the shutdown of just the NCC shuttle will have on some students like Jesse Lawrence and faculty as well.
Agent Callaway glares at Jenkins. "Officer, I don't think I remember asking you to tell me what to do. Keep your mouth shut or I'll have one of my men escort you out."
“Hello Patrick Stump, this is Dr. Rivera, the principle of Glenbrook South High School and we would formally like to invite you to come give an assembly to our students.

The meeting started off with some of the faculty talking about how they are looking forward to us freshman starting classes.
