Shut it down indefinitely? Risk failing their classes and having to drop out? I think this would make students think they can shut down any school for any reason if they get enough students to agree with it. Also I do think it is affecting their reputation and parents might not send their children there next year if there is this much unrest on campus. Again I think it is a means justifying the ends thing. Also I think the protesters need to be on the same page so it doesn't look like everyone is protesting something different and they don't have a unified agenda.
