Illingworth seemed undaunted by the occupation of the administrative building as he stood outside in the early-morning sun yesterday.
He said his primary worry is for the well-being of the students nearing their 48th hour inside the administrative building.
“I’ve been inside a couple of times and everyone seems comfortable,” he said.
“Despite this kind of thing happening, I’d like to think we are still one community,” he said as the students inside the building began to poke their heads out the window. “I’ll cling to that.”
