University of Amsterdam - Executive Board: Support the New University

University of Amsterdam - Executive Board: Support the New University | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

On Friday 13 February, an organization of concerned students calling itself The New University (http://newuni.nl/) occupied the Bungehuis, one of the University of Amsterdam’s buildings and one of the Humanities Faculty’s primary locations. The students are protesting the financialization of academic life, and are calling for the radical democratization of university management. According to press releases issued by the students, their decision to occupy a university building was only taken after they had become convinced that all other options for entering into discussion with the university's management had been exhausted, and many less impactful forms of protest had already been exercised (see http://humanitiesrally.com/).
