At their meeting on Wednesday, November 2, the GSU wrote the following statement about their position on the Occupy Movement:
The GSU at The Evergreen State College supports the involvement of Evergreen students, staff, and faculty members in the Occupy Olympia movement.
Specifically, we stand in solidarity with Scott Olsen, the Iraq War veteran injured in Oakland,
in support of loan relief for college graduates
in support of increased accessed to public colleges
in support of a more progressive tax structure,
and in support of civil disobedience to achieve these ends.
