Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York has moved to attempt to head off some of the same alleged problems that have caused protests at Yale and the University of Missouri:

Some students at Ithaca are trying to force college President Tom Rochon to step down like University of Missouri’s Tim Wolfe:

A “die in”? Hard to admire that, especially on Veterans Day when we’re honoring real heroes.

@WICBNews @IthacaCollege It is as though students are on some hilarious 'can we out idiot the other colleges' competition.

So we're protesting for the sake of protesting now. Cool. https://t.co/Tfxh5mUebL

This is a child's tactic for getting his/her way. Point, laugh, and go about your business. https://t.co/Tfxh5mUebL

@WICBNews Colleges are brimming w/ emotional & irrational toddlers incapable of intellectually honest thought, discussion & criticism

And that Tim Wolfe is why you don't resign. Well done. https://t.co/bNhDOo7SxS

At how many more colleges will students attempt to oust their university presidents (not to mention faculty) in such a way? Stay tuned.
