Last Night's Protest at NYU

Last night hundreds of people from different backgrounds, universities, and age groups, crowded around the occupied Kimmel Center  mostly in support of, though a fair few in opposition to the NYU student protest of administrative financial mishaps, secrecy, disturbing salary multiplications, and exploitation of workers abroad. The rally was not peaceful, there were a few fist fights and the polic maced some of the demonstrators. The NYPD also attended a few tactics which included attempting to separate the crowd by brining (all the kings?) horses and trucks through the crowd, but the demonstrators quickly mobilized and created a human wall wherever they turned. Sweet. Throughout the night adminisrative promises were broken and some of the student protesters in Kimmel were forcibly evicted from their NYU housing (wtf @ making someone homeless for protesting?).

The occupation ended at 2pm today, but the movement continues in many ways. You can check out more on Take Back NYU here.

Enjoy some pics I took. CUNY support made me smile.
