Or maybe he's a Dean Wurmer type and they had nothing to lose.

embarassing the provost probably wasn't good strategery Depends on the goal... if they were trying to force the school administration into committing one way or another, this was an excellent tactic -- the only responses possible were tacit approval or hypocrisy.
