Walkouts - Wearisome?

Hey activists! If you read the Spec, or at least had a chance to check out QuickSpec during lecture (hi Bwog!) you may have noticed this article chronicling the many, many walkouts called each year on Columbia's campus. Its author(s) seem to think that Columbia kids are plum-tuckered out from all the walkouts and student strikes, and note the failure of activists to achieve measurable progress on issues like immigration, the Iraq War, and grad student organizing. While the College Dems have traditionally chosen more constructive, or at the very least entertaining modes of protest, we're always open to new ideas.

So what say you? Is the walkout DOA, or just in need of a little TLC from an activist community that knows how to get this campus organized?
