Another is students vs. university administration, using the genocide as a backdrop. Its not necessarily a bad thing, but it is inward looking, it is internal politics in the university. About authority and power on campus.
Another is outside organizers coming in. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but this is again, to use organizing skills to try to wrong-foot the university into making a mistake, creating an incident that will be publicized nationally and internationally. I reiterate: Not necessarily a bad thing to stress the administration into showing their colors, but to be accurate, this is one of the dynamics at play.
Finally there are outside agitators coming in, the UCLA scenario, these are people who simply cannot help themselves, and since (I believe, and their blue/white flags are obvious) they represent the same country that participated in the training of US police during the post-911 era, they have a level of impunity that they are able to exploit.
