"gathering names for later use" Sounds a little paranoid. Perhaps the administration is wrong. Maybe as dialogue continues "they" will see that it is the policy that needs to be changed and not the "policy breaker" who needs to be disciplined. Or maybe "they" will chose to hold their ground and on-lookers and potential students will have more information on which to base their support/attentance/disagreement. Julie–
