LaVallee and Spitzer did not sit idly by while their reputations and careers were threatened. After an editorial printed in the Daily Barometer saying they would print anything the professors sent in, the professors took the editors up on their offer. They released a statement right off the bat, welcoming those who would defend them. They later released a preemptive statement to President Strand's address to the academic staff.
Well... I won't ruin the rest for you. Peruse the statements yourself!
