Leftie UNC Chapel Hill students want Chancellor Holden Thorp to revoke New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s invitation to be the university’s commencement speaker in May. It seems the students think Big Bad Bloomberg wasn’t warm and fuzzy enough with the NYC squatters.
Ashton said Bloomberg’s actions against the Occupy demonstrators seem to have turned many students against him in the last few weeks.
“A darker side of Bloomberg was revealed that day,” Ashton said.
Dahlgren said she plans to start promoting the petition around campus later this week.
“We need to solidify our support before we get the administration involved,” Dahlgren said.
