Editing RPI's Save the Union Protest (section)

=The Results=
RPI administration had fences put up before the protest took place in order to separate students from their alumni event. RPI employees were also recorded removing signs advertising the protest the morning of October 13th. Both Johns and Gardner were summoned by RPI and charged with trespassing, failure to comply, and operating a business. Following the charges, the NYCLU wrote a letter to RPI administration expressing their concern for the legitimacy and morality of RPI's actions against their students. Ultimately, the charges against the students were dropped, likely due to the negative attention towards RPI regarding the matter, as well as the administration being unable to back up their claims with their student handbook. On February 13, 2018, The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) named RPI as one of the worst universities for free speech. Although Save the Union remains an active group working to reclaim student leadership of the RPI Union, the RPI Union is currently controlled by the university's administration.
