New School students are occupying the university's center to 'escalate direct action' in support of over 2,900 part time faculty members who have been striking since Nov. 16. Full details here ⬇️
“In light of recent attacks by the New School administration on all school employees including faculty and students, as well as the blatant refusal to meet [the union]’s demands or even negotiate in good faith, the students have decided it is the time to escalate direct action,” reads a statement from Student Faculty Solidarity.
The group plans to occupy the University Center “until the administration resumes pay, full health-care protection, and retirement benefits to all striking employees and a fair contract is reached with part-time faculty.”Critics say that the cuts keep coming from the wrong place — that is, the workers who make up the university’s knowledge production — while those in charge don’t seem to be making any financial changes for the university’s well-being.
