Professors Support the Fight Fees 14

More than 100 professors at UofT and other post-secondary institutions have sent their support for the 14 students and allies who were criminally charged for allegedly participating in a peaceful sit-in at Simcoe Hall to protest increasing fees on March 20th 2008. Rather than addressing the issues of accessibility to education, the University of Toronto administration resorted to tactics of intimidation and repression including initiating criminal and Code of Student Conduct investigations.

The following professors have shown their support:
