Breakthrough in University of Puerto Rico Student Strike
Student activists at the University of Puerto Rico, who have shut down UPR for two months in a massive strike, are declaring victory today.
The university’s board of trustees approved a settlement agreement a little before 10 pm last night.
The agreement reportedly extends tuition waivers, cancels a major new fee, and abandons a list of university privatization initiatives. The trustees are also said to have made concessions on the issue of repriasals against for the strikers themselves.
Students will be meeting Monday to ratify the agreement in a campus-wide general meeting. I’ll post more
