PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island -- Students at Brown University say homework is interfering with their protesting schedules and demand professors grant them extensions on homework and tests.

Students want to be full-time activists and say the 'student part' of college is taking a toll.

A student named "David" told the university newspaper that his course load is just too much and he can't keep up with his activism.

Other students say the ivy-league school simply has unrealistic expectations.

So far, faculty members aren't budging on the amount of homework they assign.

They should changes schools. Here on the Left Coast, they can get credit for protesting.

They could always leave school, but I suppose then they'd also have to get real jobs to pay the bills.

You let homework eat into your drinking time?

Still, I guess not everyone can major in beer and regrettable decisions.  :tongue2:
