Well, I do think it was in light of what had happened in Columbia, for example, and Yale and other places around the country where the thing had really escalated and spun out of control. I think the Officials at the University of Texas here in Austin wanted to make sure that the rights of the students to pursue their education wasn't impinged upon or that it didn't become violent. So I think they were very prepared. It's obvious, and that's the balance that you have to strike in situations like this. Something that you did earlier this week seemed pretty prescient.
