Can you clearly define for me what you mean by "student-run"?

From everything I have read, the students are running around with no "adults" other than yourself. This is, in my opinion, similar to letting the lunatics run the asylum simply because students have not necessarily learned many of the skills that are needed to effectively run the team on their own.

I also believe, that it is this definition of "student-run" that has led to the students on your team thinking that they do not need any mentors. It could have been the mere "implication" that planted the seeds within the students minds. However, in order to know if this is even a possiblity, it is necessary to know the definition of "student-run".
