Occupy Harvard

Harvard Yard has been closed to anyone without a university ID as occupiers continue to inhabit the space near the statue of John Harvard.
  •  Is there a difference between an "occupier" and a "protestor"?
  • Who are the 1%?  The 99%?  Which one would you rather be?  Can one move between these groups? How should we classify the student-occupiers at Harvard?
  • Are there any third parties who are adversely affected by the various occupations around the world?
  • How do the security staff and police officers at Harvard feel about guarding the Yard 24/7?
  • Who speaks for the occupiers?  What are their goals?  What outcome would prompt them to end their occupations?
  • Why are these occupations happening at this point in our nation's history? 
  • Why are many of the occupiers students?
  • How do you feel about the occupations, and why?
  • For what cause, if any, would you "occupy" a space?
