Students demand university president purchase a Prius to help the environment

Published



A number of University of Southern California students harassed university president C. L. Max Nikias last week, demanding that he take immediate action to reduce USC’s carbon emissions by, among other requests, purchasing a Prius.

Dozens of students marched around campus and walked onto USC Village last Friday, where they spotted Nikias and followed him. According to the Daily Trojan, the students were slinging catchy phrases like “Hey Nikias, buy a Prius” and “High tuition, no green ambitions, all we have is hella emissions.”
