i have no idea if it will impact a recruit or if it won’t. But I don’t think you realize what it’s been like on campus and the publicity it’s getting. Especially with the manifesto much more so than the graffiti. The national media will move on eventually. But there will still be stories and they could impact things and even more so are things like the Facebook pages. There are plenty of parents of prospective students that read those pages. We did. Many we know who’s kids were considering SU did. The school tells you about them when you’re considering the school. A couple of them have very detailed posts from current parents about the scare. The manifesto really upped the fears. It was a manifesto used by a killer who shot and killed 50 people. While it appears the manifesto was just a scare tactic it put real fear in students and parents. Then when the hoax attack on BBB hit, people went nuts. Students refusing to leave their room. Students crying. Parents coming to take their kids home. All detailed on these Facebook pages. Who knows if recruits parents look at that stuff like many parents do. But no matter how fake some of this stuff may be a hoax, the fears were/are real.

And BTW, many athletes have shown their support to the protesters and some have even shown up. That could also have a ripple effect.

We’ll never know if a prospect didn’t choose SU because of this stuff.
