Students, educators, staff and community members took to the streets Thursday as part of a nationwide day of action, and ended with a sit-in.

Some students, faculty, staff and members of the community will be participating in a planned march and rally on Thursday.

A group of 13 students and faculty held a demonstration Monday to declare displeasure with the university administration. The Free Speech Area was the site of the demonstration as the students and faculty read from a prepared document that they called “a declaration of academic independence.”
