The New School is now OCCUPIED!

BREAKING: Students Reclaim New School Graduate Faculty Building

Where: 65 5^th Ave, NY NY

When: Right now

What: New School students have just reoccupied the entire graduate faculty building at 65 5^th Ave, fully barricading themselves inside until President Kerrey and Vice-President Murtha resign. This is the same building that was occupied from December 17-19^th of last year in protest of President Bob Kerrey’s mismanagement of the university. On February 10^th, students announced they would “shut down the university” if President Kerrey and Vice-President Murtha did not resign by April 1^st. With their demand still unmet as of this date, students have once again reclaimed this neglected, symbolic building which housed the New School for Social Research. On the 75^th anniversary of the University in Exile, New School students are reclaiming the tradition of protest and political action that birthed the university and gave it meaning for generations to come.
