How one of America’s last free colleges screwed its students and betrayed its legacy

Campbell became president in 2001, and immediately decided that what Cooper Union needed was a Master Plan. Under the plan, the college would raise $120 million, mostly for new architecture. (Not a new program inarchitecture, mind you; rather, new buildings, which Campbell decreed were necessary despite the fact that none of the faculty agreed with him.) Once $84 million of the total had been raised, the old art school would be demolished, and a shiny new building would go up in its place. Then the engineering school would move into the shiny new building, the old engineering school would also meet the wrecking ball, and a big black skyscraper would go up on the site of the old engineering school, the lease payments from which would bring “long-term financial stability” to Cooper Union.

None of this made much sense, nor did any of it come with broad support from faculty, students, or alumni. Certainly no one objected to the idea of raising $120 million, but for a school with only 1,000 students or so, almost everybody could come up with alternative (and, frankly, better) uses for that kind of money. Invested at a real rate of 4% (a number which was quite realistic at the time), an extra $120 million for the endowment would produce a permanent income stream of almost $5 million a year. That’s more than three times the $1.2 million student aid budget in 2001, or a full 35% of the $13.7 million spent that year on “instruction”.

Occupation at Central Saint Martins

Occupation at Central Saint Martins by Samia Malik.

I’m over the MOON about occupation at Central Saint Martins. Huge respect to all UAL occupiers!! Central Saint Martins elite art school, with an internationally renown reputation. I’m a strong believer in education, creativity and art. Although I credit St martins to develop me as creative person, however I also know from being a student at St martins; students are customers, who are turned into products to design commodity for consumers. Art education should not be about this.

Life has become soo commodified that people cannot imagine a life without consumerisms. Political correctness is classed as a threat. People are afraid to show solidarity with truth because they live in soo much fear. We need a global revolution ASAP. This requires occupation of everything from: supermarkets, clothes shops, governmental sites, media, culture, art, music, housing sites and more. Occupy till demands are filled!

We just had ARTIST TAXI DRIVER in talking to us about his foundation at Camberwell.

Here is a video of Rowan and Mostafa talking to him.

Occupation at University of the Arts, London

Not sure what’s going on with the cuts to Foundation? Here’s a briefing:
Why we need to fight for Foundation

Wave of Occupations in London Swells! Occupy Goldsmiths has now been set up.

The new wave of occupations in London was swelled yesterday as students at King’s College London went into occupation to protest the ongoing neoliberalisation of higher education. They join the London School of Economics and University of the Arts London who have been occupying the reception area of Central St. Martin’s in response to the announcement of the cutting over 500 foundation course places last week. Students from these occupations took part in a demonstration yesterday (March 25) from LSE to High Holborn and blocked the road there, then continued to Elephant & Castle and the London College of Communications, which will bear the brunt of the cuts to foundation courses. As protesters gathered outside to find the building locked, the police were called to the area. A fire alarm was set off, and some students gained access to the building – although the alarm lead to the evacuation of the entire college. The police continued to keep the building shut for several hours after protesters had left. University of the Arts London Student Union President Shelly Asquith said: “That university management felt the need to call the police to keep us out of our own university building showed they are afraid of occupation as a tactic and of the power of students. We believe firmly that the police should be kept off our campuses and that universities should be a space free from intimidation and police harassment.” National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts LGBTQ Representative Raquel Palmeira said “ I have been occupying Central St Martins in solidarity with those who will be affected by the proposed cuts to foundation places. This is yet another example of the neoliberal university cutting things which it views as not useful for the free market economy. This new wave of activism is really unprecedented at this time of year, and I think it bodes well for our national demonstration on Saturday in Birmingham.” NOTES The London School of Economics occupation has been taking place since March 18 and they are based in the Vera Anstey Suite in the Old Building. The occupation of Central St Martins has been going on since March 19. On Saturday March 28, the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts has organised a national demonstration in Birmingham to march on the seat of Shadow Higher Education Minister Liam Byrne.

OCCUPY GOLDSMITHS

Statement From The Occupiers

Tonight over 100 of us are occupying the offices of Goldsmiths University management, in solidarity with our lecturers and university staff who have been forced into striking for the second time on 3rd December over a 13% pay decrease in the past 4 years.

Our objective is simple: to escalate. UCEA, the negotiating body for universities, refuse to re-enter negotiations, citing lack of money. This simply isn’t true, there is a £2 billion surplus in the sector. We’d suggest that if managers are looking for savings, they should start by looking at their own salaries. The university sector has the biggest pay disparity of all public sectors, with the gender pay gap widening with every new government policy of marketisation.

We also send our solidarity to other occupations around the country, and encourage other campuses to join in.

We’re aiming for Deptford Town hall to remain closed on strike day tomorrow and we encourage everyone to join and support the picket lines around campus. There will be a meeting at 8am inside the occupation, all students and staff are welcome!

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL, BERLIN

GLOBAL

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is a school with no curriculum. At the moment, it operates as follows: first, classes are proposed by the public (I want to learn this or I want to teach this); then, people have the opportunity to sign up for the classes (I also want to learn that); finally, when enough people have expressed interest, the school finds a teacher and offers the class to those who signed up.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is not accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything.

Now that the Slade School of Fine Art has occupied, so begins the creativity and artistic activity.

Middlesex University philosophy sit-in

STUDENTS protesting against the closure of the Middlesex University philosophy department have vowed to continue their lock-in until their demands are met.

Around 150 philosophy students have taken over the whole of Mansion House at the Trent Park campus in Bramley Road in an attempt to overturn the university's decision to end the programme.

The protest began last Tuesday morning after the Dean of Arts and Education cancelled a meeting to discuss the cuts, which were decided on Monday, April 26.

In the past week support has flooded in from leading academics across the country and more than 14,000 people have signed an online petition to save the department.

Nearly 11,500 people have also joined a Facebook group calling for the department's reinstatement. Soruce: Independent, May 10th 2010

reworking / rethinking the University

http://rethinkingtheu.wordpress.com/
Dear Fellow Reworkers,

As you all likely know, our upcoming conference coincides with the “Reclaim Your Education – Global Week of Action 2009.” In connection with associated protests taking place around the world, we would like to collaborate on declaring our visions, strategies, and demands in a public document that we can take back to our respective local struggles. And so, in the spirit of the Situationist’s manifesto, “On the Poverty of Student Life,” our goal is to articulate:

• A vision of what education could and should be, making explicit the desire and need for political action within and beyond the university

• What it would mean to reclaim our education, strategically, tactically, and as part of our everyday practices

• An alternative framing of the university in crisis, against the supposed inevitability of the neoliberal university

• The university as a terrain of political struggles, with the aim of dismantling the corporate monopoly on higher education by reworking the university into a common for alternative political projects

While not directly political activity in the traditional sense, we believe that the Reworking and Rethinking the University conferences are capable of contributing to struggles over education taking place around the world. It is in this spirit that we hope to write a statement that captures some of the intellectual and political work that goes on at this conference in a way that can be collectively transmitted to those who did not attend the conference.

That being said, we recognize that there are considerable time restrictions which limit what can be collectively written during the course of an already busy weekend. That is why, in the run up to the conference, we’d like to invite you all to begin brainstorming ideas for this document here on our blog (click on ‘comment’ below and post your ideas via the comments section).

Beginning on the first day of the conference, we’ll post sheets of butcher paper on the wall to further collect and collaborate on our visions, strategies, and demands for reworking the university. On Sunday morning we’ll convene with these ideas to produce a manifesto and to develop plans for its dissemination. We’ll print and post online copies of it for you to distribute on your home campuses.

We look forward to collaborating with you all!

THE NEW SCHOOL IN EXILE
http://www.newschoolinexile.com/

An Open Letter: Come Occupy a Building with Us…Now
Dear Friends,
We are writing to you from the inside of the New School Graduate Faculty Building on 65 5th Ave. We are occupying it. Right now. Literally.
Students of the New School University, along with our partners from other universities and groups – like NYU, Hunter College, City College of NY, CUNY Graduate Center, and Borough of Manhattan Community College, have organically risen up to demand the resignation of President Bob Kerrey, Executive Vice President James Murtha, and Board Member/torturer Robert B. Millard (he multi-tasks). We have come together to prevent our study spaces from being flattened by corporate bulldozers, to have a say in who runs this school, to demand that the money we spend on this institution be used to facilitate the creation of a better society, not to build bigger buildings or invest in companies that make war. We have come here not only to make demands, but also to live them. Our presence makes it clear that this school is ours, and yours, if you are with us.
The outside doors have been closed now, so we can't exactly invite you in…sorry… We know you wanted a piece of the action, but we'll be around for quite some time. Join us at 7 AM tomorrow when the doors open again, or come now to stand outside with a sign in solidarity. You are cordially invited to join us in any way you can. We are not going anywhere. In the meantime, check out our Web site: www.newschoolinexile.com. We have all night to make things interesting, and the website will continue to be updated. Stay tuned for the musical pieces, doctoral dissertations, and creative finger-paintings that seem to be the natural result of 150 students locked into a building together for a night.
We are here, making decisions collectively, doing teach-ins, listening to music, studying, singing. We've got an upright bassist, guitarists and vocalists (If anyone can volunteer a drum-set we'll be well on our way…). We'll be here until this university changes, or until the party gets boring (but it doesn't seem likely that will happen). We're not going anywhere. We hope to see you soon, and if you really can't wait a few hours – what the hell – occupy your own universities or work spaces.
Come use your voice to declare loudly that this school and this world are yours. Come use your mind to think up a better world. Come use your body to create it, one all-nighter in the university cafeteria at a time. Come stand in solidarity with
the students, faculty, and staff of this university. Come to write letters of support to the people of the village of Thanh Phong whose parents were murdered by the current President of the New School during his service in Vietnam. Come join the struggle with the people of Iraq who are being tortured and killed by a company funded by this university and represented on the New School Board of Trustees. Come here to join the uprisings and outpouring of passionate resistance currently taking place all over this country, and all over the worlds – from factory workers in Chicago to students in Greece. Come for yourself. Come for all of us.
In solidarity,
The New School in Exile

FBI TO RESTRICT STUDENT FREEDOMS

FEDERAL AGENTS ARE VISITING SOME OF THE NEW ENGLAND'S TOP UNIVERSITIES, INCLUDING MIT, BOSTON COLLEGE, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, TO WARN UNIVERSITY HEADS ABOUT THE DANGERS OF FOREIGN SPIES AND TERRORISTS STEALING SENSITIVE ACADEMIC RESEARCH.

FBI IS OFFERING TO BRIEF FACULTY, STUDENTS AND STAFF ON WHAT IT CALLS "ESPIONAGE INDICATORS" AIMED AT IDENTIFYING FOREIGN AGENTS.

UNEXPLAINED AFFLUENCE, FAILING TO REPORT OVERSEAS TRAVEL, SHOWING UNUSUAL INTEREST IN INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE JOB SCOPE, KEEPING UNUSUAL WORK HOURS, UNREPORTED CONTACTS WITH FOREIGN NATIONALS, UNREPORTED CONTACT WITH FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, MILITARY, OR INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS, ATTEMPTING TO GAIN NEW ACCESSES WITHOUT THE NEED TO KNOW, AND UNEXPLAINED ABSENCES ARE ALL CONSIDERED POTENTIAL ESPIONAGE INDICATORS.

FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THEIR COLLEAGUES FOR SIGNS OF SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR AND REPORT ANY CONCERNS TO THE FBI OR THE MILITARY.

non-aligned iniatives on education culture

The debates around education are shifting. In Europe, questions of coordinated systems with comparable outcomes seem to dominate the concerned discussion around the forthcoming "Bologna" accord. While much critical opposition focuses on the loss of local traditions and fears of global homogenization -- both sets of responses serve only to fetishize knowledge within a commodity economy of education.

In actuality numerous non-aligned initiatives are converging around "education", recognizing that it is equally a platform for cultural actualisation and self organization. Within self organised educational forums that range from free academies, to exhibitions as educational modes to ad-hoc initiatives within social, political and economic organisations, it is becoming clear that beyond knowledge transfer, education is one of our most important tools for the transformation of subjects towards a participatory mode. Equally many initiatives to articulate contemporary subjects and forge new methods, to see education as itself a creative cultural practice, are taking place within established and recognised institutions of higher learning. While these two efforts might be perceived as separate due to their institutional and structural status, they share a desire to reclaim education for present needs.

The crisis in education offers us potential modes of critical engagement: drawing on activist practices and processes of participation which circulate in the wider culture, it allows us to claim the power to shape and define the terms of the debate. It is clear from the many exhibition, art practice and research projects which have recently converged on the notion of 'education', that there is much potential for seeing it as far more than the transmission of knowledge within dedicated institutions.

SUMMIT is a proposal to change the terms of the debate away from a purely bureaucratic engagement with quantitative and administrative demands and from the ongoing tendency to privatize knowledge as socalled "intellectual property". Instead of concerns with its purely organisational dimensions we would hope to steer it towards some of the important questions faced by our cultures today.

KNOWLEDGE AND MIGRANCY:

How does migration affect canonised knowledge? Can we conceive of a non-linear projection of learning? Whom do notions of fluidity and precarity serve? How do emergent subjectivities, produced out of current mobilities, produce newly situate knowledges?

SELF-ORGANIZATION, -AUTHORIZATION, -VALORIZATION:

What are the gestures of "un"-organizing education? If to define was to own, where do we encounter emergent possibilities of mutuality and collaboration within education? How can we envision new configurations of multiple ownership of knowledge? Is self-organization a mode of education beyond the patterns of identification?

CREATIVE PRACTICES:

The model of education has become central to a range of creative artistic practices and to a renewed interest in radical pedagogy. As a mode of thinking an alternative to the immense dominance of art as commodity and display as spectacle, education as a creative practice that involves process, experimentation, fallibility and potentiality by definition, offers a non-conflictual model for a rethinking of the cultural field.

EDUCATION, UNREALIZED AND ONGOING:

There are principles within learning and teaching that extend far beyond the years spent within the institutions of education. What models are emerging for an understanding of both an expanded duration of education as well as for our need to redefine what needs to be know within a contemporary civic landscape?

We call on all those interested and engaged in the debates around education to come forth and unalign.

SUMMIT offers the following formats:

- A public program with "keynote-lectures" by prominent thinkers, "curated conversations" between actors in the field, and 'history lessons' which locate previous moments of radical aspirations or transformations in the field.

- Working groups, caucuses and concept labs: A series of meetings and sessions on burning questions of education

- Open space: Forum for initiating proposals, highlighting practices and making theory urgent

- Collaborative drafting of a declaration
