Protesters want to present a list of demands to school administrators

Hundreds of people gathered outside the New York University student center early Friday in support of protesters who had been barricaded in the building’s cafeteria for more than 24 hours. The students vowed to continue the occupation of the cafeteria until they were able to present a list of demands to school administrators. The demands included thorough annual reporting of the university’s operating budget, expenditures and endowment. They also want the university to provide 13 scholarships a year to students from the Gaza Strip and to give surplus supplies to the Islamic University of Gaza.
