Multimedia : New School ruckus leads to more arrests Posted by wdunleavy on Friday, April 17, 2009 (19:04:07) (818 reads) Today a public forum was held to discuss recent developments following the occupation in front of the 65 5th Avenue New School campus. Students, faculty, and activists voiced their concerns against New School president Bob Kerrey and expressed their disgust at the way the NYPD have handled themselves. Students shouted situationist-inspired slogans and jokes as the discussion moved towards civil disobedience, blocking traffic and taunting police. As the mob was dispersed by police it moved to Bob Kerrey's 11th street home until was was again moved and relocated to the site of the New School occupation last week. Marchers linked arms and blocked traffic until the police arrived and made several arrests. Again the crowd moved, this time to the site of the NYU occupation where Reverend Billy was scheduled to perform an exorcism on the NYU building. He held the attention of protesters for several minutes until some students with a megaphone began shouting at him to stop distracting attention from the actual demonstration. I'm not sure if he finished because the original march moved again to the Sixth Police Precinct to support those arrested in front of the New School building.

Multimedia : CAT THEMED CATASTROPHE Posted by wdunleavy on Sunday, April 12, 2009 (19:35:19) (2091 reads) In a video from Friday night's rally, Andy Folk dispels rumors and summarizes the events of the second New School occupation. Also last night, a march to New School president Bob Kerrey's house was met with more force from police. Today, the anarchist book fair was held and a cat themed dance party called "CATastrophe" was announced in Union Square. Participants were told to show up in their best cat costumes, which many did. The party moved into the subway, where a dance party and Bob Marley sing along took place (thanks Bob Marley cover guy on the L platform.) The cat party exited the subway system at First Avenue where they began smashing storefront windows, spraypainting anarchist slogans on walls and throwing trashcans into the street. The procession moved in unpredictable patterns around midtown Manhattan for about two hours, encountering sporadic skirmishes with waiting police. Property damage was met with pepper spray and physical assault, and eventually the party moved back to Union Square where it fizzled out. Photos are below with cat party graphic censors because I am not a snitch. Whose streets? Well it's unclear, but things certainly do look good for the children of Guy Debord and Raoul Vaneigem.

Multimedia : Technology Aids Student Protests Posted by alvinjohnson on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 (21:22:28) (419 reads) This great article by Luz Sacta Espinoza on student activism and technology just got published by Think magazine, and features the New School In Exile and Take Back NYU! occupations and actions. Check it out, including the many media clips in the article!  Quote:
The New School University and New York University occupations were among the first student-led protests to use technology to gain global support for their cause and to get attention from the universities’ administrations. Historically, student-led protests have been a way for young people to demonstrate disapproval of a political or academic issue. But today's technology-driven students take activism to a new level. Internet networking and instant transmission of information allows students to connect with various parts of the world and potentially reach a larger audience. A quarter of the world has Internet access. North America is among the highest in percent penetration with 3 out of 4 Internet users. Take Back NYU! Last month, 70 New York University students took over their school's dining room in the Kimmel Center for University Life. Most of the students involved in the occupation were members of Take Back NYU!, a student organization that started in 2007... Read the whole article here... comments? | | Multimedia | Score: 0

Multimedia : Students in New York relaunch the critical university Posted by alvinjohnson on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 (21:12:48) (477 reads) Check out this story in the latest issue of HippoCampus-a Danish student newspaper-about the New School and CUNY student politics!  Quote:
American students have the last few months, as in Europe, manifested a criticism of conditions at the universities around the country. Criticism and demands are well known. In the city of New York students require the critical university back. Students in New York relaunch the critical university American students have the last few months, as in Europe, manifested a criticism of conditions at the universities around the country. Criticism and demands are well known. In the city of New York students require the critical university back. By Anne Louise Fink, Basic Studies in the Humanities HippoCampus No.17, April 2009 The protests in New York began in December, when students from the legendary University The New School occupied the school cafeteria. They occupied the cafeteria in protest against a range of local conditions on campus and in solidarity with Gaza [this was central at NYU, but not the New School] and the demonstrating students in Greece. The action got a good deal of media attention and has been impetus for a wave of actions at other universities in New York. Students in New York are talking about a new energy that has given students a belief that they can create change in education. This energy that has been reinforced by the massive protests in Europe, Obamas promises and the economic crisis, which consequences demands responses from the student movement. The student movement's claim is clear: It will have the critical university back. Read More... (6.31 KB) | comments? | | Multimedia | Score: 0
