History
After students occupied President Bharucha's office, survived a very tense situation with armed guards, blocked stairways, and no electricity or water
, and maintained their occupation for over two months
, they eventually worked with the Board of Trustees and negotiated an exit.
The result was a written agreement with the board, with the primary result being a formation of the Gural-Borkowsky Working Group, a committee formed by the Board, filled by independent elections of the different community constituencies, and with the access to finances and responsibility to forge a cost-cutting plan that can work.
