Pastides condemned the act in a tweet the following day and soon after at a MLK Commemorat ive Breakfast event, during which he said the work of Martin Luther King Jr. was not yet done. “We shall not be deterred by a disruptive act based on hatred and ignorance. We shall not be weakened or f rightened. I n t he words of a
powerful Negro spiritual, ‘We shall not be moved,’” Pastides said. He y wa rd a nd Ru s s s a id t he y believe Pastides’ upbringing as the child of Greek immigrants helped him to be a more empathetic leader. “Because of this, I think he can relate in some fashion to students from historically underrepresented b a c k g r o u n d s ,” H e y w a r d a n d Russ said in the NPHC’s written statement. “Furthermore, I think his experiences have enabled him to see things and govern the University f rom a more ju st a nd equ it able perspective.” Lateef says she appreciates the considerat ion Pa st ide s t a ke s to familiarize himself w it h diverse g r oup s a nd t he i r s t r u g g le s o n campus, both inside and outside of formal events like Dive-In Lunches. She hopes that the new president also makes efforts to be involved in similar events. “It’s g reat to have a president who really showcases the value of a school and stands for all groups of students,” Lateef said. “I feel like the new president definitely has big shoes to fill.”

W hile students expressed strong opinions on the importance of feminism and equality, they also consistently ex pre ssed d isappoi nt ment i n t he cancellation of the Columbia rally, which was removed from the Women’s March official website. “I would say that’s probably because there’s a lack of interest in general,” said Marryat. “It’s not a huge city, it’s not a liberal city either.” Some also spoke out, questioning the effectivity of the Women’s March itself with the primary location being in Washington, D.C. during the semester. Even Read identified herself as a feminist and supporter of the Women’s March,

We’ll have to see what happens in the future.” Despite var ying opinions on the Women’s March’s effectiveness, students seemed to agree that the Women’s March is a necessary effort in combating major social justice issues. “I believe the Women’s March is important because it draws attention to issues that women face in their day-today lives that people might not have been aware of or might have been willfully ignoring,” said Read in a Google form response.
