Occupation Underway at Evergreen State College

February 20, 2010 in Students

A group of students have taken over the Housing Community Center (HCC) at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.
A communique from the students who conducted the takeover was posted at about 10:30 am Pacific Time today. It says that the group is “disheartened, discouraged and frustrated” by the realization that they have been paying tuition to follow rules they had no say in creating, and that they have thus “commandeer[ed] the facilities that we are paying for.”
“Everything that we paid for is ours,” the statement says. “Everything is ours. It’s right there in front of you, waiting for the intention, the desire and the effort.”
The message closes with a slogan that has been frequently used in recent California campus takeovers: “Occupy Everything. Demand Nothing.”
I’ll have more on this story soon.
