Our Response to the Vice Chancellor's Rejection of the Amendments

Dear Phil,



The occupation is saddened to read your latest response. The changes that we proposed for your original statement were meant to be constructive. These changes were written with the intention of clarifying the position of the University and to enable the students of the occupation to leave with confidence that the University is committed to fulfilling our goals. It also saddens us to hear that you are reducing this process back to the very first stage, when it was so close to being completed. If, as you say in your email, these changes are of little significance, then it should not be difficult to include them in the final statement. We have a general meeting planned for 8:00 PM, at which we would hope to be able to announce the end of the Occupation.
