Thank you to everyone, near and far, who supported us throughout this campaign. From protests & letters to statements - we felt your presence and love in this struggle <3
After another extraordinary meeting between the @ceu slt and senate: we have a win! OLIve will continue with team oversight until the end of this AY, and will maintain its programming in 2023/24. Thank you to everyone for their support and love during our campaign!
CEU's management decided to ignore the Senate's efforts towards keeping OLive and its team. Join us for the protests:
Vienna, Friday, March 10th, at 2:15 pm at the reception area.
Budapest, Saturday, March 11th, at 1:00 pm in front of Nador 15.
Students gathered for a sit-in protest in front of CEU Management's office. Check out the video for one of the protest songs. #istandwitholive
in 2017, we came out for free and open education. #CEU's management is running contrary to the very values we fought for. The fight's not over. #opensociety #highereducation
A joint statement by the #CEU Senate and management was issued today. They will start a discussion on how to guarantee the continuation of refugee education in the next academic year.
2 OLIve representatives, 2 Senate representatives, 2 university managers and representatives of other access programs will participate.

This outcome is a success, yet our demands have not been achieved, yet. We are hopeful that the negotiation meeting will be treated with the seriousness it deserves, we remain committed to our campaign and our mobilization until our goals are met.

Thank you to everyone, near and far, for attending our protest this Friday, Feb. 24 in light of the extraordinary Senate meeting relating to OLIve. We are still waiting to hear an official statement from the Senate on the outcomes of their session.

The senate meeting in #ceu is about to start, we are standing outside waiting to know the decision and making our voices heard. We want #OLIve to stay open at CEU. #IStandWithOLIve fb.watch/iUw7n-maN8/

Political surge on #academia and #CriticalThinking keeps its toll! Another case at @ceu affecting well-intentioned colleagues and many wonderful students. Let’s RT, sign and support the action📣🙌@WfF_Deutschland @BarisAkademik @AcadFreedom @Academia_carnet @ScholarsAtRisk
OLIve at Central European University @ceu has been closed down unilaterally & without explanation. OLIve is not just at uel; it's a UK/EU network w/ programmes in unis in Budapest, Vienna, Berlin, London+previously Thessaloniki. Here is some history and what you can do to help ⬇️
#OLIve's work is immense in the value it brings to @ceu, #academia, and #highereducation, to name a few. The impending closure is a loss on many fronts. This isn't the university we fought for in 2017. @opensocietyuniv @Olive_UEL #IStandWithOLIve #NoCEUwithoutOLIve

Join our virtual community event on the 23rd in solidarity w/ OLIve! Let's think through the limits of opening up the university, while trying to imagine alternative sites of solidarity w/ those who've been traditionally excluded from/by the university. ✊

OLIve was born to open up the university to marginalised groups and recognising that their expertise through experience meant that they could make crucial contributions to teaching and learning about society. here is an overview bit.ly/3kmqT4p
