The Evergreen State College chapter of Students for a Democratic Society was suspended by the university administration this spring for holding an anti-war panel and concert. Administrators temporarily banned concerts on campus after a riot following a Dead Prez concert caused over $44,000 in damage. SDS claims the administration was evasive about why the event could not be held and that their free speech rights are being violated. The students appealed and won a reduced but not abolished sentence and began a sit-in shortly thereafter outside the office of Art Costantino, the Vice President for Student Affairs.
