Virginia Tech should let us all know if indeed they are funding anything about Israel that can be used as a weapon against innocent people. Sands should acknowledge the protesters and speak his mind on the happenings in the region. Maybe he doesn't hold any weight at all, but to stand silently makes him look complicit. Again, by being silent we don't know if Sands is respective or not of the protesters. You may not agree with me, but the Admins are wrong on this one.
