OCCUPATION DEMANDS CONFIRMED

The occupation voted to confirm the demands set forth by the Emergency Union General Meeting motion:

1. Joint open statement by the LSE Students' Union, University and College Union (UCU), and Howard Davies (Director of the LSE) against the cuts, fees, and the attack on the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA).

2. No victimisation of Students or Lecturers involved in the occupation or any protests against the cuts.

Tomorrow

Just to let everyone know we will be having a meeting tomorrow with Tariq Ali, John Rose and Mark Bergfeld discussing 1968 and 2010 and the rise of student activism.

Come down to the occupation from 6pm.
