Students Occupy the New School Campus in Manhattan

Came across this on Daily Kos, haven't heard anything else about it:

New School Campus Occupation

Students at the New School in New York City are currently occupying the central campus building and demanding the resignation of university President Bob Kerrey. The occupation comes as the faculty of the university have voted no-confidence in the President. The students have established the New School in Exile in their occupied space. www.newschoolinexile.com

Here are, apparently, their demands:

The removal of Bob Kerrey as president of our university

• The removal of James Murtha as executive vice president of our university

• Students, faculty, and staff elect the president, EVP, and Provost.

• Students are part of the interim committee to hire a provost.

• The removal of Robert B. Millard as treasurer of the board of trustees.

• Intelligible transparency and disclosure of the university budget and investments.

• The creation of a committee on socially responsible investments.

• The immediate suspension of capital improvement projects like the tearing down of 65 fifth Ave.

• Instead, money towards the creation of an autonomous student space.
• Instead, money towards scholarships and reducing tuition.
• Instead, money for the library and student life generally.

Comments anyone?
