Graphic design: © Alexander & Jessica Romero Poaty is the sequel to the comic as expected. For now that's all I have! We need s'attaquevraiment after the weekend but are short leash and motivation to be desired. But worry is coming soon. :)
the evening, barricades are ready. Students are reclaiming space. In a corner kitchen improvised. Behind the barricades are decided following the mobilization. The univesité become what it should always be: a place for debate, information sharing. For the first time in years the students are no longer shadows in the corridors but be willing to share and exchange ideas. With the occupation a real sense of community.
After the General Assembly organized the students to build dams with tables and chairs that prevent them being held.
Trade unions protest against the attitude of the presidency of the University of Provence.
The facts are: Tuesday, October 30, following incidents at a share student information, management makes a unilateral decision to close the site until Schuman further notice. Responding to the call of the President, leaders of trade unions say they are unanimously opposed to the closure of the site, they describe the error. Despite this, President maintains its decision.
It also agreed a second meeting with union leaders Monday, November 5 Schuman Centre at 7.30am, to discuss the immediate reopening of the site, and a meeting general staff, later called by the Chair.
However, although no new event has been introduced Tuesday in any emergency, the management of the University decides to change these provisions, without any formal notification to the unions. It is by leakage (an email from a director of the Faculty teachers UFR) we learn that AG is convened by the Presidency on the site of St. Charles, Monday, November 5 - Schuman the site remains so closed that day. And what is that on Friday at 14:30, the Chair informed the unions finally, by a telephone call to their secretaries, the meeting management / union will be held in St. Charles at 9 am and general meeting at 10.30am. The management announced its intention to formally convene the AGM on the evening of Friday through the website of the University (at the time of writing this release, the information is still not passed). She also asked the unions to relay information.
We protest strongly against these measures that are similar to a vulgar manipulation, as well as against the lockout of the Schuman Centre, the incidents did not warrant any Tuesday morning.
This is a blatant provocation of making believe, claiming some flooding individual students are troublemakers who threaten the order and serenity of the University. The future of our university, like all universities in France, can be decided without the participation of students, those most concerned, who have also shown in the past sense of responsibility.
We finally recall that there is no other emergency at the University of Provence, that the university crisis in general, aggravated the crisis law known as "LRU", and he probably should expect a movement of staff and students against this law, as is already the case in other establishments.
We support any initiative to make the debate more democratic. If the President of the University wishes to convene a general assembly, we invite you to do it publicly, transparently and without seeking to exclude anyone by attempts to reduce information. We also invite to make the agenda of this General Assembly the question is really at stake in the current period for the university: the law "LRU" and the merger of three universities - the agenda is still not announced, it is unclear how the issue of organization and mobilization of legitimacy could be one.
The attitude of management, provocative, also reveals a serious mistrust vis-à-vis students, or organizations representing staff and students, and the choice of solutions maneuverability rather than creating a respectful and responsible debate. We already hold management responsible for the consequences that they might have. These measures, which confirm an abusive interpretation of the incidents on Tuesday, are hurting students by depriving them of education and violating their rights. We redemandons the opening of the site without waiting Schuman, we protest against the role that management wants us to take and we reaffirm our right to call the AG in a public and democratic.
