Rancourt defies campus ban to host Cinema Politica; administration backs down

• On 30 January 2009, Professor Rancourt defied the campus ban and entered MacDonald hall auditorium to host Cinema Politica. After having him arrested the previous week (along with student Marc Kelly), the university backed down when Rancourt invited students, community members and professors to escort him onto campus. At 7pm, a crowd of 50 Cinema Politica participants walked from MacDonald Hall to the edge of campus to meet with Professor Rancourt and Marc Kelly, and then escorted the two into the auditorium, where they continued the presentation they were giving last week when both were interrupted and arrested by police.
