There was an extremely hostile protest being held on campus at that time. Protesters had burned down the ROTC building and refused to disperese despite their legal obligation to do so.

Decades ago, "Kent State" became the unofficial namesake for what was the shooting of student demonstrators by the Ohio National Guard, and of what is often taken-for-granted as a generational epoch: "the Day the War Came Home" amidst the fighting in Southeast Asia, and the now-landmark wave of civil-rights activism. Although it has since acquired a professional reputation for quality teaching, for its affordable tuition and ever-growing student population; the former connotations with what occurred in May of 1970 are most likely the first associations one may be expected to have with "Kent State".
