#freeu16 #freesb
Wednesday, APRIL 27TH 2016
The Stony Brook May Day Coalition has organized a FREE UNIVERSITY to actualize the promise of what we believe public higher education should be: free, open and accessible to all. By holding classes outside–in public view rather than behind closed doors–we will be the openness, the transparency, and the access that we demand from Stony Brook as a ‘public’ university. The Free University will also be a public demonstration of the value of Stony Brook’s staff, faculty, graduate, and undergraduate student labor. Together we resist the privatization and commodification of higher education.
