WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING: New School in Exile WINS WINS WINS

He would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

from New School in Exile, posted ~ 3 AM: Occupation Wins Major Victory over University Administration in 3rd Day

After more than two weeks of concerted actions on campus, students in the occupation were finally able to win significant victories in the ongoing struggle to improve the New School. Those victories include: an agreement not to press charges or impose academic punishments for students involved in the protest, the implementation of a Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) committee within the university, more autonomy and power for Student Senate to communicate with the student body, more representation on the Board of Trustees for students and faculty, and finally the creation of more student study space on campus. As of approximately 4am this morning New School and other students have left the 65 5th Avenue building and declared the occupation successful, ending this stage of the action.

You can read the full text of the agreement reached with President Kerrey here.
