Police and Military Recruiters Out of the Schools -- No Cops, Prison or Security Guards in the Unions

In the current (February-March 2020) strike by graduate student workers at the University of California, the brutal repression of strikers at UC Santa Cruz has highlighted the role of "security" forces policing the universities on behalf of the ruling class. CSEW has demanded all police and security guards off campus. We are reposting here the 2015 CSEW pamphlet Campus Protest, Capitalist "Security" and the Program of Class Struggle. To read and/or download the pamphlet in pdf format, click on the image below.

Part 1: The Policed Campus
Part 2: From Slave Patrols and Pinkertons to Private Jails for "Shopping While Black"

The pamphlet reprints the extensive article on these topics from Issue No. 4 (Summer-Fall 2014) of the Class Struggle Education Workers Newsletter.
