General College Truth Movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General College Truth Movement (GCTM) was a briefly lived but large group that opposed the closure of the General College at the University of Minnesota. The group was founded on April 16, 2005, and consisted of U of M students, staff and faculty, as well as some community members and high school students. At 10:00am on Wednesday May 4, 2005, GCTM members held a peaceful sit-in to oppose the closing of the General College in the University of Minnesota President's office, Morrill Hall. Nine people were arrested. Two peaceful protesters were pepper-sprayed by University Police. The decision to close the College was made by a 11-1 vote of the University of Minnesota Regents on June 10, 2005, and what is left of the General College has been merged into the College of Education and Human Development.
