WorkingGroup

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.
