"As one effectively and efficiently radicalized student at the University at Albany put it last January, 'A lot of people who are supposed to be protecting us aren’t doing that. So unless we turn a little wolfish on them, they’ll just eat the sheep.'"

"University at Albany President, George Philip says the school shares students' concerns but offers no consolation prize."'We appreciate their commitment to preserving access to a quality public higher education and their desire to move the University forward in a positive direction,' said Philip."

I don't think he appreciates students' "commitment to preserving access to a quality public higher education and their desire to move the University forward in a positive direction" all that much. But "no consolation prize" for attending UAlbany: that's about right.
