Looking at the encampment, it appears as if it’s been there for weeks. Students explained that the encampment was able to be established so quickly, because many of the students had experience supporting the University of Michigan encampment, which lasted for about three weeks and was finally cleared out on May 22.

A student told WW: “The police are just basically teaching us how to organize and defend these encampments. Each time the police clear out an encampment, students are able to quickly reassemble it somewhere else. They can crush one, and another will pop up. They can’t take away the skills we’ve learned in the struggle.”

The full effects of the movement on the consciousness of today’s youth have yet to be seen. The universities that are so often the breeding ground of [neo]liberal indoctrination have become schools of resistance and struggle, like at Wayne State.
