RVC Stundents defeat and shame Headmaster
I used to work at the RVC (Royal Vetinary College) as IT support, it was nice.

Now the RVC had 2 sites. One in Camden 5 min walk from Mornington Cresent station and the other up in the middle of nowhere near Potters Bar. The Potters Bar location is relativly new and much bigger than it's Camden location and is generaly used by the older students.

The Camden location is the college's original location and is a grand old building with a rich history and, being in the middle of Camden with easy access into town, quite a draw for prospective students.

The headmaster of the RVC decided that he wanted to sell the Camden location and move everything to Potters Bar. Most the staff and students didn;t think this was a good idea. In fact the students really didn;t want to lose the Camden site they decided to have a demonstration. One day, while the headmaster an important meeting, most the students tuirned up for college wearing a red top of some sort. Them, at a specific time, they all left the college and stood outside protesting loudly that they wouldn;t return to college unless the headmaster promised that he would keep the Camden branch open.

They definetly stuck it to the man.

I can't figure out
if this is ironic or not.

bunch of students protest over losing part of their college and win
shame the headmaster (whos plan it was) in the process by having the preotest when he had important people round.

Not sure where the irony is (unless it's someone with my spelling and grammer telling a story about Uni)

"The college has had discussions about moving all teaching and research out of London for the last 40 years but successive council meetings have rejected the proposal."

I think the council stuck it to the man.
