Immediately following the press conference where Wolfe announced his resignation, students exploded in joyful celebration. They gathered together on campus to celebrate their victory.

Jonathan Butler - a 25-year-old graduate student who announced he would go on a hunger strike until Wolfe was fired or resigned - led students in a rallying cry. "We must love and support each other," he called out. "We have nothing to lose but our chains."
