NYU Occupied!

Demonstration in support of the NYU occupation:

Thursday, 12:15 PM
In front of Kimmel Student Center
60 Washington Square South, Manhattan, NYC

Since 10pm Wednesday night the third floor of the Kimmel Student Center at New York University has been occupied by more than 70 NYU and non-NYU students. Originally present for the first few hours of the occupation I had to leave for personal reasons, but it is still going strong and spirits are very high.  It was recently announced the head of NYU university relations has cut his vacation short and is flying back home.  They're clearly worried.

This is in direct solidarity with the many occupations occurring recently across the globe, from Greece to Britain to the New School and the University of Rochester.

There are 13 demands relating to NYU investments in war profiteers and occupation, the cost of tuition, the lack of transparency and the lack of respect for NYU workers.

See the full list of demands here. See live streaming video from the occupation here.

Help out and spread the word by:

• Come support the occupation!
• Send a letter to the administration in solidarity
• Send an e-mail to your professors, peers, listservs, facebook groups you name it! Tell the world.
• Have your parent write a letter or e-mail to the university
• Print the following demands and distribute them far and wide!
