The University of Maryland student government will hold a protest Thursday after the school reinstated football coach DJ Durkin despite allegations he oversaw a toxic team culture.
"People are appalled at this," student body president Jonathan Allen told reporters. "When I spoke to stakeholders—media, alums, donors—over the last few months, as this has been transpiring, they all said there's no way Durkin comes back from this. And yet he's returning and the president is the one that's leaving?
"When the system fails, the next obvious step is a grassroots push, being vocal and showing the outrage and sentiments students have had with these decisions.
