NYU Academics come out in support of occupation students


Students at NYU are still fighting their expulsions.over 170 academics at NYU have written a letter to the university asking them to reinstate the students before giving them a fair hearing. They also ask the university to rethink it’s policies that led to the occupation, the way it dealt with the occupation and to investigate the violent incidents against the protesters.
Students there are fighting against what they describe as ‘rumor mongering and character attacks’ from the Provost David McLaughlin.
There have also been rumours that kitchen staff from the occupied canteen in the Kimmel building will go without a days pay despite working during the occupation.
For more details of who to complain to about the situation.
