Support the student occupation: letter to NYU administration

At approximately 10pm tonight (Feb. 18), students of Take Back NYU! took over the Kimmel Marketplace. They have blockaded the doors and declared an occupation! They presented their demands to the NYU administration. They read as follows:

DEMANDS

The NYU Administration REFUSES to negotiate with the Take Back NYU! Occupation (takebacknyu.com) and are threatening expulsion and arrest tonight. The students are refusing to back down and continue to press their demands for an affordable and just NYU.

Take Back NYU! needs your support! Please take a second to e-mail the NYU administration, particularly President Sexton and tell them to negotiate! Below is a sample e-mail that you can use.

Calling is also really important, please take a moment to call at least President Sexton and let him know you support the Occupation.
