Appeal for Solidarity with UofT New College
A recent appeal from the IWW GMB Toronto email list:
Hi Everyone,
I met some of you at the Common Cause conference/various events and
know some of you are fellow students at the University of Toronto.
Yesterday, me and others organized a rally and sit-in at governing
council (Simcoe Hall) to demand an end to rent increases for New
College Residence as well as tuition and other fee increases. We
wanted dialogue, to speak with UofT president, David Naylor, in person
or on the phone. Instead, the administration called in the police to
violently remove students they are supposed to be accountable to.
This was disgraceful, especially considering we had a minor in the
crowd.
I am pleading for letters of solidarity as soon as possible, given the
lack of support from one reactionary careerist student union (The New
College Student Union), which not only disavowed our action but
claimed that they did not support our moves to bring in other issues,
including having speakers from New College workers. We need all the
support we can get in order to oppose the growing corporatization of
our campus/police brutality, and in support of making education
accessible to all.
