He also condemned the use of sit-ins as a tactic.
"It's something we're following and will continue to follow, but just because other schools [withdraw] doesn't mean we're going to do it," he said. "[This is] particularly so when the actions of other schools come in response to sit-ins, because that's not how our policy is going to be shaped."
He said PSLM's brief occupation of Mass Hall did not serve its purpose.
"It didn't help things at all," he said. "They walked in and made a lot of noise and walked out again, and that just does not advance the case."
