I stopped by the New School briefly, which has been occupied by students since last night. You can read about it at the New School In Exile site. Although there are demands being made by the students inside, including for President Bob Kerrey to step down, the demands and the occupation seem not to be linked that strictly — the occupation is for occupation’s sake, i.e. space for students to hang out, study, collaborate, etc. CUNY is part of a consortium with the New School, but the consortium seems to be on hold at the moment, so I couldn’t get past New School security to get inside.
