The student occupation of York University President Susan Mann's offices came to an end on the morning of Sunday, February 16. Both Metro police (called in by the York administration) and campus security were in full force when the protesters, who have been occupying her office since Tuesday, were given a "choice" of either confining their occupation to the President's office (it had spread to several offices) or leaving. The students have demanded an immediate freeze to tuition fees and have called on the administration to unite with students to oppose the cutbacks to education funding, part of the anti-social offensive being implemented by the federal and provincial governments. Students are demanding that the Administration act in defence of the interests of the students, and not as administrators of the cuts which are being imposed on education. Last week, several Ontario universities tabled tuition fee increases of 10 percent, following Education Minister John Snobelen's announcement that universities could increase tuition an average of 10 percent across the board, and up to 20 percent in specific faculties for the 1997-98 academic year. Following the tuition increases, students at the University of Toronto occupied the President's office, followed by students at York University and Guelph University. Students at the University of Toronto ended their week-long occupation of the UofT President's office on Feb. 13. Speaking the day before on CBC Radio Metro, UofT President Pritchard stated that the student occupiers do not represent the student body because they are not "elected student leaders." He also made flippant remarks about such actions being just a matter of routine student life. The students at the UofT have said they will continue to organize different actions on campus to oppose the tuition fee increase as part of participating in the struggle against the anti-social offensive. Students from UofT and a delegation sent from the then-occupied President's office at York participated in the anti-Megacity demonstration held in Toronto on Saturday. Students at the University of Guelph are continuing their occupation, which began Wednesday. They have already held an on-campus rally attended by over 500 Guelph students as well as high school students, despite the fact that it was in the middle of their university's mid-term break.
