or the hypothetical "if I were in charge" types here would have had the fact to handle that appropriately.
The video of the OSU administrator laying out their policy shows exactly why that situation didn't get worse. He clearly explained what would happen and why it would happen, and he ensured the dialogue would continue and that he respected them as students. That's quality academic leadership.
Also, the Mizzou protesters made the wise decision (wise in the context of being removed) to hold their protest in an outdoor space instead of camping out inside a place where people worked. Would've been much more difficult to justify removing them.
