Seriously, you'd have to be an idiot to call this a win of any kind.
You honestly think the university will allow him back there again? Their goal was to prevent him from speaking there. Shortsighted or not, they accomplished that.

EDIT: I mean if you want to contrast it to the women's march, what exactly was accomplished there? The goal was to protest the incoming threat of legislation that was damaging to women's rights and their health, all of which and more has since been passed, more of which will be passed in the next 4-8 years. It was a great display of civic engagement but it had zero effect on the final outcome. Or am I just being cynical?
