Indiana University Students Hold Anti-Zombie Protest

About 30 students participated in what associate instructor and organizer Tristan Tager called a “protest for the greater good of humans” at 5 p.m. Friday at the Sample Gates.

The anti-zombie protest addressed a growing problem in America, Tager said.

Participants held signs that read “Just die. Again” and “More guns, less bites.”

“There’s a permeating theme of zombies being increasingly relevant to American life — zombies running around eating people’s brains, taking American jobs, zombies teaching in the math department and infusing the youth of today with an utter lack of vigor and energy,” he said.

In reality, the protest was an opportunity for finite math instructor Tager’s students to blow off steam prior to finals week.

Tager, who teaches a class of about 80 students, said the protest was partially meant to poke fun at the recent influx of protests on and around campus.
