Comments on: University criticised over Heslington Hall security during protest http://www.nouse.co.uk/2008/06/24/university-criticised-over-heslington-hall-security-during-protest/ Award-winning University of York Student Newspaper Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:48:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Jason Rose http://www.nouse.co.uk/2008/06/24/university-criticised-over-heslington-hall-security-during-protest/#comment-53166 Jason Rose Sun, 10 Aug 2008 21:03:30 +0000 http://www.nouse.co.uk/2008/06/24/university-criticised-over-heslington-hall-security-during-protest/#comment-53166 The university managed the situation well. I'm not quite sure what the massive amount of security was for... whether they were expecting us to burn the place down if we were able... but the security did its job of keeping students outside and keeping the situation calm. This isn't even a newsworthy article. A staff member gets upset about her employers and some students that aren't affected in the slightest by the "people couldn't even smoke for a whole hour!" story end up reading it. The last paragraph summarises the severity of the problem. Many protesters remarked that porters were present? Wow. Yes, I'm in a ranty mood today. My comment is still accurate.

Am I missing something so oblivious here! This is one of the top universities in the UK and they have no idea on how to manage things like this. Where's the common sense within this "big academic body"??? What a joke and complete shambles. Am I missing something so oblivious here!
