"Earlier on Thursday, it seems that administration of the New School made a very unwise decision to use physical force against the students. New School President-For-Now Bob Kerrey tried to provide cover for such action by sending a letter containing distortions and outright lies about the student occupation, choosing to cast the students’ action, unsurprisingly given the ruling dogma, as a security issue. The result is the confrontation seen in the video, provided by the New School in Exile website"

also of note, this appears to be over already:

"University in Exile Occupation Wins Major Victory
over University Administration in 3rd Day (3 am) !!

After more than two weeks of concerted actions on campus, students in the occupation were finally able to win significant victories in the ongoing struggle to improve the New School. Those victories include: an agreement not to press charges or impose academic punishments for students involved in the protest, the implementation of a Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) committee within the university, more autonomy and power for Student Senate to communicate with the student body, more representation on the Board of Trustees for students and faculty, and finally the creation of more student study space on campus. As of approximately 4am this morning New School and other students have left the 65 5th Avenue building and declared the occupation successful, ending this stage of the action.
