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!

Rally for a Responsible University!
http://newschool.facebook.com/event.php?eid=12805521557
On Wedensday the 12th of March the New School chapter of Students for a Democratic Society is joining with several other campus activist organizations to call for students to walk out of class and rally in the Courtyard between the 12th and 11th Street Buildings. Too long have we allowed the University to ignore student demands that it respect its workers, stop supporting war and allow students a voice in decisions that directly affect them. Too long has the spirit of apathy prevailed on a campus full of intelligent, politically and socially consious students.
We ask that all those against the war, all those for environmental sustainability and labor rights, and all those who believe students have the right to a democratic university join us as we struggle for reckognition. We ask that you make the effort to come out and show support for student power! We ask that, if you have a class, you respectfully ask to leave early and explain to your professor that, while thousands die each month in Iraq, and while workers are paid abysmal wages and are forced to ignore environmental regulations or risk losing their job, you cannot remain silent.
We know that our apathy is complicity. We know that only an organized, passionate student movement can really work to end the war and institute social justice. We know we're committed to doing what it takes. Are you?
