Rally for a Responsible University a Huge Success!

Hey y'all

Thanks so much to everyone who came out to Wednesday's rally! We feel there was a huge amount of positive energy and that it was a great first step towards creating an atmosphere of student empowerment. While the turnout was significantly hurt by midterms (counterrevolutionary institutions of oppression! ^_^), we had loads of people in attendence, and hundreds were able to observe at least a part of the event. The courtyard, filled with people, was also redecorated as students chalked and posted flyers detailing the issues facing the University. Faculty expressed their support, security and maintenance was surprisingly cooperative, and several administrators (including VP Roger Ward and several other suits) even watched on the fringes. We're not going to be unrealistic and say there was an amazing turnout, or that there's not a huge amount of work left to do. But it was great to see so many people interested in creating a responsible and democratic university!
