This event was initially described by Dr. Ross as an open forum "to meet and talk to administrators.

Student Media organization were prohibited from recording this event, which occurred in Academy Hall during the middle of the day while many classes were taking place. At the Town Meeting, Dr. Jackson cited the need for these organization to ask permission as a courtesy to the speaker. While this courtesy is not totally unreasonable, the notification would hardly serve to change what was said or asked during the forum. This prohibition, however, does harm the effort of media organizations and their ability to inform the masses and aid in the maintaining of an open and honest dialog.
