Support for University squats!

At 22nd of October Students began to squat the viennese Universitys main Auditorium called AUDIMAX.
Since then the movement grew. Additional squats were installed in Linz, Graz, Salzburg and at Viennas TU, Juridicum, Campus C1, Akademie der Bildenden Kunst and Boku. Protests were held at least in Vienna, Innsbruck and Graz. All in all a movement involving thousands of people all around the country.


what are the claims? (23.10.)

- Broad financing of all Universitys!
- Democratization of the University and strengthening of student codetermination!
- No more carious employment status for teaching staff, researchers and workers!
- Free access to master programms and no obligatory STEPS!
- Abolishment of still existing study fees (also for migrants)!
- No study restictions in all of Europe!
- Away with pre defined extended curriculum; free elective courses!
- Away with precondition chains!
- Away with point-registration system!
- An End to the Bologna process eg. the Bachelor-Master-System!
- Implementation of a Female quota in the University Administration!

The Best Support at the moment is to go there discuss, help to organize, and BRING FOOD TO THE VOKÜ!!

Late Update: Political PasteUps in Vienna

Vienna:
During the campaigns for the EU votes some people made a paste up action against the extremley unapropriate hate campaign of Austrias far right FPÖ party.
The altered posters could be found in almost every district of Vienna (for about two days, then the FPÖ repasted all of their Posters).

The Slogan "ABENDLAND IN CHRISTENHAND" (occident in christian hand)
was transformed into
"FLASCHENPFAND IN CHRISTENHAND" (Bottle Deposit in Christian Hand)
"ABENDLAND IN SCHLUMPFVERSTAND" (Occident in smurf intellect)
and
"MOSLEMHAND IN CHRISTENHAND" (Muslim Hand in Christian Hand)

some pics of the altered Posters:
(Unfortunateley theres no Foto of the third slogan...)




And the Original:


Another initiative Emerged as the FPÖ party used Comic as a Propagandatool.
It's a demarcation of the Austrian Comic szenc by the name of: Comics Gegen Rechts. Always worth a visit as it is frequently updated!

FRK Big ups to both initiatives!!!
