Dear friends<BR>><BR>> the University of East London (UEL) was supposed to
host an <BR>> alternative summit on April 1st in the context of the
upcoming G20 <BR>> meeting on April 2nd. Following the media and police
hype about <BR>> possible disruptions to the city, the University
withdrew its <BR>> support for the alternative summit.<BR>><BR>>
Subsequently, management of the University decided to close down <BR>>
the university all together on April the 1st and 2nd, cancelling <BR>>
lectures and closing the library, effectively trying to turn the <BR>>
university into a wasteland in the very moment when the university
<BR>> should instead be up to the task of hosting critical debate and
be <BR>> a hub of creative energies.<BR>><BR>> As the text of the
petition makes clear, this is not just about <BR>> UEL, but about
reclaiming universities and education in these times <BR>> of
crisis.<BR>><BR>> PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY -- PLEASE SIGN
URGENTLY.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Open UEL now
