Who's to say they're not doing both? Because I think it's very possible to speak up about "petty issues" AND vote. And considering Biden a.k.a. the only other option for (positive) change won I'd say they did do both.
I will call him Spunky.
Boulder removed because it was considered offensive.

You mean someone called it by a different name nearly a century ago. It was a n****rhead rock, which wasn't even so much a nickname as it was a descriptor in those times. Having stopped using the language of the past, these students courageously decided to just destroy any part of reality that was once called a bad word, and after they finish off darkly colored rocks, they'll be after several species of plant, nautical bollards, and certain clams or oysters of the same name.
Though ironically, the last entry on that dictionary list of things referred to with the same term as this rock are activists for Black political rights in America, so along with this rock, the next logical step is to remove themselves from the campus rather than whatever racists might be off spouting slurs willy-nilly.
Remove the plaque then! Way cheaper than moving an entire boulder.
The thing people were "offended" by wasn't a name, it was a descriptive term that was used decades ago for all rocks like it.
I think the plaque is staying actually.
Really, I'm expecting that they are putting some sort of new monument or something in the spot and that has been left out of the article in order to generate controversy.

N*$#er head. And? You going to act like that changes anything? I already told you why it's ridiculous to move to move rocks for that reason.
I have a suggestion. Leave the rock where it is, but carve it into a very detailed penis. A big black rock, if you will.
That should make whatever douchenozzles still call it n*****rhead feel very secure and manly.

OK, there's also some argumentum ad absurdum.
If people are being assholes about it, and it sounds like they were given that people cared enough to have it moved, then there is no particular reason not to move the rock. None at all.
The rock said it didn't consent to any of this, they're bringing it back.
It was literally a memorial to a prominent figure in the school's history who was also a geologist. Which is why the memorial was an example of a rare kind of rock with a plaque on it to him.
They're going to put up a different plaque to him somewhere visible after moving the rock somewhere unimportant. All seemingly because it was described by a bad word. Not even sure how often that word was used to refer to it these days.
...because it has been described using a naughty word, and that's why the otherwise very fitting memorial needed to be taken from public view and a new plaque installed in it's place.
At least this isn't Reddit where certain folks respond to posters they disagree with by reporting them to a bot that checks in and asks if they need some kind of support, and has a bad habit of "forgetting" it's been told to leave you alone.
Are there any? Articles talking about the rock seem to avoid mention of it being called that currently, which makes me wonder.
Everything is funnier when it looks like a penis. That's even true of penises, which are inherently quite funny-looking.
Based on my internet experience, it's generally a good idea to not leave excuses for white people to say certain things lying around
Nwordhead rock, apparently. Seems lots of rocks were called that back in the day, this one still was.
I see no problem with this. The rock was a symbol of racist tradition, I don't blame them for moving it. I do consider those people brave, because had to spend any other era, they would have been lynched for it. And even in this day and age, you have plenty of racist buttholes that would attack or willing to kill others of removing Confederate statues. So a rock with the n word attached to it would be the same offense to them, if it were removed.
