CMU Occupations Have Begun!
by Friends Friday, Mar. 19, 2004 at 5:41 PM

The sixth floor of the CMU administration building has been locked down by protesters.

In protest of Carnegie Mellon University's extensive ties to the military we have locked down the 6th floor of CMU's Administration building (Warner Hall, located at Forbes and Morewood). We have not and will not enter any offices on the floor, nor will we in any circumstance damage University property. This is a peaceful action whose sole purpose is to draw attention to the immoral and unethical policies and programs of CMU. Their development of the killer robot dubbed "Gladiator" is an abomination and affront to those who are daily witness to the death and destruction currently being caused by the US military.

This action is in solidarity with the Pittsburgh Organizing Group's call for non-violent protests on March 20. We encourage President Cohon to immediately contact POG to begin discussions of ways to address the specific concerns articulated by the community.
