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.
