  10. The conclusion in this argument is that the state legislature need not consider the

  views of protesting students. To support this conclusion, the author points out that only

  200 of the 12,000 students traveled to the state capitol to voice their concerns about

  proposed cuts in college programs. Since the remaining students did not take part in this

  protest, the author concludes they are not interested in this issue. The reasoning in this

  argument is flawed for two reasons.

  First, the author assumes that because only one-tenth of the students took part in

  the protest, these students views are unrepresentative of the entire student body. This

  assumption is unwarranted. If it turns out, for example, that the protesting students were

  randomly selected from the entire student body, their views would reflect the views of

  the entire college. Without information regarding the way in which the protesting

  students were selected, it is presumptuous to conclude that their opinions fail to reflect

  the opinions of their colleagues.

  Second, the author cites the fact that the remaining 12,000 students stayed on

  campus or left for winter break as evidence that they are not concerned about their

  education. One obvious rejoinder to this line of reasoning is that the students who did

  not participate did so when they that their concerns would be expressed by the

  protesting students. In any case, the author has failed to demonstrate a logical

  connection between the students alleged lack of concern and the fact that they either

  stayed on campus or left for winter break. Without this connection, the conclusion

  reached by the author that the remaining 12,000 students are not concerned about their

  education is unacceptable.

  As it stands, the argument is not well reasoned. To make it logically acceptable,

  the author would have to demonstrate that the protesting students had some

  characteristic in common that biases their views, thereby nullifying their protest as

  representative of the entire college.
