I'm going to guess that not a single one of these "students who gathered" have a real major that requires lots of study i.e. engineering, architecture, computer science or pre-med, or works several jobs to put themselves through school, both of which gives them oodles of time to fill up their empty lives with outrage and protesting.
I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
They have 700 Muslilms attending the school. So, if they rounded up all the Muslims, they could claim “many attended” — and the claim would be meaningless.
