That scenerio could be made slightly less bad, if they have banded together under the headmaster of Shade, since it was said the Academy is the closest thing to a gov they have, and the headmaster should be on Ozpin's side. That's assuming the headmaster could even do anything. Remember in A Much Needed Talk, Qrow said

Qrow: Like I said, the schools are an important part of stopping Salem. Atlas  is going to be on high alert after the last attack, and  Vacuo  is - well, Vacuo. It'll be hard to hire thieves and scoundrels to fight against other thieves and scoundrels.

The High Alert part Qrow could easily figure thanks to Ironwood, but the way he puts Vacuo, it's like he isn't even considering the school. It's why I wonder, even if Shade is the only form of Government there, how much control over what amounts to about over a Third of Sanus does it actually have?
