Three Exxon recruiters were chased from the office at the University of Wisconsin by student protesters and were escorted by University police to a waiting van. A university spokesman said that there were no arrests or reported injuries.
Interviews scheduled by the recruiters for the next day were cancelled.
The university spokesman said that the incident occurred after a rally where 300 protesters denounced nuclear power and oil-company profits. The rally, organized by the Campaign for Lower Energy Prices, was part of a national “Oil Protest Day”. The demonstrators want the government to reimpose price controls on domestic crude oil and natural gas.
