"Ordinarily, Harvard protests have not targeted individuals, but rather the decision-making body," Epps says.
While the Loeb House actions of 30 years ago did galvanize the student body, Epps says the picketing, rallies and sit-ins failed to directly result in change.
"Eventually, the students found faculty allies who raised the issue on faculty floor," Epps says. And Epps says it was this move that finally led to ROTC being withdrawn from campus.
This is the way student campaigns work best, Epps says, and recently, PSLM members have stepped up their efforts to enlist faculty members to their cause.
"The frustration for many students is that this process takes time," Epps says. "But it's still true at Harvard that the best idea carries the day."
