Concordia Students 5-Day Sleep-In Protest

by Stephen Petrina on February 27, 2012

Beginning today, students at Concordia University will be moving en masse to the W. McConnell Library and staying for the remainder of the week.  The 5-day sleep-in is in protest of pending tuition hikes and increasing burdens trickled and poured down on students within an economy that is failing.  About 48,000 students throughout Quebec are  boycotting classes, “many indefinitely,” in protest.
