NYU Students Occupy School Cafeteria
------------------------------------



Here in New York, several dozen student activists have barricaded
themselves inside a cafeteria at New York University. The group Take
Back NYU has submitted several demands, including the establishment of a
socially responsible committee, a full disclosure of the school’s annual
budget and support for Palestinian students in the Gaza Strip.

Student: “The first two orders of the socially responsible finance
committee will be an in-depth investigation of all investments in war
and genocide profiteers, as well as companies profiting from the
occupation of Palestine.”
