Cairo University March 22, 2011, where students had started a sit-in on 6 March demanding the impeachment of the university and faculty deans associated with the Mubarak’s regime.

The military police yesterday stormed Cairo University campus, suspending by force the ongoing sit in by the Mass Com students calling for impeaching the university president, faculty dean and other figures affiliated with the Mubarak’s regime. The soldiers used sticks and tasers, temporarily detaining a number of students and professors.

A protest is scheduled today at 12 noon in solidarity with the students in front of the Cairo University gate.

Continuous updates on the Egyptian student movement could be found on that Diigo group.

Cairo University students continue their protests against Hossam Kamel, the university president, and brother of Mubarak’s telecommunications minister Tarek Kamel. The students want complete purge of the administration from any corrupt regime figures, dissolution of the state-controlled student unions, lifting all restrictions on political activities, free education and affordable text books.

One quote I really like from the young female student who’s leading the chants above: “We will run the university. The university will not run us.”

A similar revolt is reported in virtually all state universities where classes were resumed.
