 University of Massachusetts
Twelve of the 15 defendants were arrested November 24, 1986, for occupying Munson Hall, a University of Massachusetts administration building, after the university refused to meet seven demands, which included banning CIA recruiters from campus.
Fernaid tacitly dismissed the defense's expanded definition of "imminent threat." She asked McGehee only one question: "Were you present on the University of Massachusetts campus on November 24, 1986?"; of Chamorro, she asked only his current occupation and whether or not the CIA had been on campus the day of the protest.
The larger and more emotional portion of the defense was devoted to showing that the CIA had committed crimes in Central America and elsewhere, that Hoffman and the students sincerely believed they could prevent such crimes by protesting, and that their protest might indeed prove effective.
