As the spring semester gets underway, I’ll be launching a major new project — a national database of campus Occupy projects. The database will include links to each occupation’s social media presence, as well as to press coverage of their work.
To start with, I’ll be concentrating on Occupy groups that have established campus occupations lasting for at least one overnight, though I’m interested in hearing about all other groups as well. So far, I’ve compiled a list of seventeen campus occupations in twelve states from the fall semester, though I know I’m missing more.
If you have Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, or blog info for any of the campus occupations listed below, or if you know of occupations not on this list, please let me know. The database will be going live within a week.
California: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCLA, Humboldt State, San Francisco State
Idaho: Idaho State
Illinois: Illinois State
Iowa: Iowa State
Massachusetts: Harvard, Boston University
New Hampshire: Dartmouth
New Mexico: University of New Mexico
New York: SUNY Fredonia
North Carolina: Duke
Rhode Island: Brown
Texas: University of North Texas
Washington: Seattle Central Community College

The School of the Art Institute of Chicago had an Occupy SAIC group, a formal student group, but whether or not they renew the student group with the administrative folks, there is an “occupation.”

Rutgers University’s Tent State will have its tenth year (it was occupy before occupy was a thing).
I’ll update you shortly about the progress of other schools in NJ

Thanks for the info, KPO and JWC. I’ll add it to the mix. And yeah, I’m particularly eager for news out of Jersey.
