Do they have to maintain decorum all the time or just when they are on professional duty? In any case, I suspect those students were in perfect control of their feelings and very intentionally seeking to call out and disrupt the speaker.

Only certain times and places, just as apparently Stanford’s rules only require decorum in certain times and places. An inability or unwillingness to abide by those restrictions is useful evidence for likely future behavior and should be considered by character and fitness committees.

> perfect control of their feeling

The administrators voice cracked at least twice… My interpretation of that is she was about to cry… At least twice. Perfect control would mean no loss of vocal control by her, wouldn’t it?

I think you can feel and show emotion and still be very in control of your words and actions. Certainly looked like the administrator was acting very intentionally and in accordance with their values.
