Adelman said that long-term actions by the Herald may include legal action and the placement of student guards at distribution sites.
The Herald distributed on Saturday a special reprint of 1000 copies of missing papers in the main dining hall under the supervision of a police guard.
Much to the staff's delight, they "received a lot of support from the students," Adelman said.
A flurry of mail and web postings by students, parents and alumni have offered support for the Herald. The university has also added its sympathy, Adelman said.
"We're upset...that this small group of students determined what could and what could not be read on campus," Adelman said.
Carl Takei, president of the Brown chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union rejected the coalition's claims to represent the interests of Brown minorities.
"[A]s a student of color, I am outraged that these protesters claim that they are acting on the part of the Third World community at Brown," said Takei. "The protesters' actions show a blatant disregard for free speech and free discussion...Stealing the newspapers was a spiteful and censorious act that, in my mind, can never be justified."
