Thoughts on the media policy

Back in the beginning of October, there was a lot of noise made by both students and staff when President Rochon implemented the new media policy; lately, I haven't heard much about it.  It kind of reminded me of how everyone exploded over a thing like Kony (a little late to the party, it's been happening for years): there was the initial flare of interest, particularly on social networks, but it died down quickly.

Just recently, the Ithacan published an article stating that this policy has since been rescinded, thanks to the collaborative effort of many groups on campus to communicate with the president of the school on the topic.  Check out the full article here.

A quote that stood out to me from this article goes as follows:

"It really has been amazing to see the community rally around this topic and shows that students, faculty and staff can have an impact, and I hope that this spirit doesn’t go away now that the media policy has been rescinded"

It is impressive to see the impact of this campus community, but do we have the endurance to keep it going now?  Maybe it's just me, but it seemed that, as with many causes people tend to rally around, support dwindled with time, making it appear to lose steam regardless of whether there was still action or not (in this case, there was some definite success for those who stuck it out).  Does anyone else have this feeling about it, or am I just out of the loop?
