http://www.smh.com.au/news/0003/23/national/national21.html Students stage sit-in protest Hundreds of university students occupied the Student Centre at the University of Sydney overnight to force the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Gavin Brown, to abandon his support for privatised universities. Students from five universities targeted Professor Brown because of his support for a plan to establish an elite group of privatised "ivy league" universities, which would charge full fees for many more students. A log of claims sent to Professor Brown protested against conditions on campuses, including overflowing lecture halls and large tutorial classes. Professor Brown refused to meet the students yesterday. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
