Miami students protest outside president’s home
Staff Report
OXFORD — The power outage which began Sunday has sparked a student protest outside the home of Miami University’s president.
Late Monday night, about 200 students were protesting the university’s decision to hold classes Tuesday, according to Local 12 WKRC.
The students gathered outside Miami President David Hodge’s house Monday night, according to Local 12.
However, Hodge was out of town at the time, according to Local 12.
While the university has power, much of the city of Oxford does not.
After closing down all three of Miami University’s campuses Monday, Sept. 15, officials opted to resume classes on Tuesday.
During a meeting between university representatives and Hodge Monday afternoon, the decision was made to resume normal operations of all campuses.
With power restored to residence halls, dining halls and several key university structures through back-up generators, MU spokeswoman Claire Wagner said students were sent text messages updating them on the evolving situation.
