Tent State University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tent State University is an annual campaign going on at various universities in the United States, at which students and activists set up tents, camp out, and protest policies which they believe harm higher education. This includes the defunding of education at the federal and state level as well as the war in Iraq. This movement started at Rutgers University in 2003 and has spread to many other schools. Universities involved include the University of California, as well as the Madison campus of the University of Wisconsin, the University of Missouri, Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts, the University of Connecticut, and SUNY.
