5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 04:31, 2 August 2019 (UTC).

  • 5x expansion from 9kB to 45kB prose size, neutrally written and well sourced. The copyvios detector does not show close paraphrasing. All three hooks are appropriately sourced and meet requirements. I prefer ALT1 as personally it's interesting why students would want to protest against something they can benefit from.
