Anti-Neocons

"It has been a battle of wills in Greenwich Village as the students try to force a face-to-face discussion with the university. The students have been holed up inside the third-floor room since late Wednesday night.

The school had said if its deadline expired it may use force, but now it looks like the two sides may negotiate.

The student occupiers, who chanted for the television news cameras on Thursday night, have said repeatedly said they have no intention of going anywhere, despite the university-imposed deadline.

The occupation began to turn ugly Thursday night when an NYU security guard was wheeled out on a stretcher after claiming she was pushed by a student.

It came on a night of defiance and solidarity for the student revolutionaries who've barricaded themselves in an upstairs cafeteria claiming NYU won't come to the bargaining table.

"We're here until they negotiate with us," demonstrator Julie Kliger told CBS 2 HD.

Kliger is one of the occupants and sent to CBS 2 HD pictures of her fellow occupants, a group of students who said they won't bend to what they call the shady scare tactics of the administration.

"They're resorting to things to like these mental scare games like calling your parents to say you know this could lead to expulsion or this could lead to their arrest," Kliger said.

Webcam video is also allowing supporters to follow the drama, which centers on more than a dozen demands that centers on financial transparency. However, not everyone is buying in.

"You know a laundry list of demands and none of them seem like they have a chance of being implemented by anything other than actual negotiation rather than going for the political theater aspect of it," NYU student Ken Nisbet said.

The political theater has attracted police throughout the building, with the school saying, "We value reasoned debate and forceful argument. We do not honor, however, forms of expression that disrupt the university's academic mission, it's operations, or it's students pursuit of their education."

But students said they're not asking for much.

"The NYU has flat-out not responded. It's not even that their demands have been denied, it's that they're not responded at all," student Dacia Mitchell said.

Added student Raphael Mishler, "I think making the university more accountable to its students is something that's realistic for us to expect."

Tuition at NYU annually is about $50,000, including room and board. Some students told CBS 2 HD they had no idea the cost was so high; they just want to know where their money is going.

The budget demands seem to be the top order of business on Take Back NYU!'s mind.

"Most important to me is the budget demands," student Jane Bird said. "I think it's gotten out of hand at this point."

There are also other demands that don't concern the budget. The group wants 13 scholarships a year provided for students of the Gaza Strip, and to give surplus supplies to the Islamic university in Gaza."

How is that NOT controlling all of Gaza?
