Council member David C. Rennard then tried to introduce a bill to denounce the University for its actions relating to the ongoing living wage protest.
The bill cited the administration's "refusal to meet seriously with the PSLM to end the sit-in."
The bill, however, never came to the floor and, instead, was not recognized as "new business."

A two-thirds majority is required to consider a bill during the period of the meeting allotted for new business, and Rennard's bill received fewer than half of the council's votes.
