"Jeopardizing the Life of Institution" – Letter to the Students from President Cahn

Addressed to the students on April 18, 1991, and signed by Steven M. Cahn, the acting Graduate Center president, this letter stated that the student strikers who had occupied the Graduate Center were "jeopardizing the life of the institution" they were "trying to defend." Cahn insisted that allowing students, faculty, and staff to freely enter the building would demonstrate the strikers' "commitment to the invaluable process of unrestricted teaching and learning."
