My guess is it’s going to end up staying for awhile. From what I’ve heard, there’s going to be a defensive effort (so to speak) that will make the Vietnam era look tame....
All depends on whether the University really wants that statue down. They could use the student oppostion as an excuse to leave it up for a time. But anybody who has witnessed the PSU security thump students attempting to take down the goal posts after a big win (I know, it’s been awhile) knows that they don’t mind bloodying a few noses and using pepperspray.
