Although only the portion containing the stacks was under consideration, reaction from students, faculty, and alumni was swift and heated. The POA, they argued, is not only one of the River Campus's most active libraries, but also provides support and camaraderie for students enrolled in some of science's most challenging disciplines. Protests included a Facebook group, numerous fliers, and passionate letters and editorials in the ''["Campus Times"]'' (see [http://www.campustimes.org/2010/04/15/personal-recollections-on-the-poa-library/ here], [http://www.campustimes.org/2010/03/25/save-the-poa/ here], [http://www.campustimes.org/2010/04/07/preserve-poa-library/ here], and [http://www.campustimes.org/2010/04/01/engineering-students-require-computer-lab/ here]).
