Graduate Students and their supporters holding strong at Swanlund Occupation. |
The graduate students and their supporters who occupied the Swanlund Administration Building this morning are still in the building. There are 4 police officers at the scene guarding the front and rear doors, preventing people from entering the building but not making any arrests.
One supporter held the front door open to talk to the people inside and received no interference from the police. The mood was high.
About 15-20 picketers are marching in a circle in front of the building carrying signs reading "BOT Hear our Demands", Respect My Labor", "Support Democracy, Support G.E.O.", "Hey Board You Never Got My Vote".
A sign is posted on the street corner reading: "Pardon the inconvenience; We're Building a Better U of I: GEO".
Pizza arrived to much jubilation.
Pictures will be forthcoming. |
