The protesters took a service elevator into a private reception at the Overcup Oak Pub in the Sarratt Student Center. Protestors questioned onlookers about the 315:1 ratio between the highest paid and lowest paid university worker. The event was filmed to increase campus awareness. * Apr. 1, 2012: Occupy Vanderbilt marched down West End Ave to the Rally for the Right to Exist at Legislative Plaza. The rally and sleep-in was held in protest of a new state law which criminalizes camping in unauthorized areas and was created to target Occupy Nashville as well as Nashville's homeless population. The event was organized by homeless advocates and supported by Occupy Nashville and Vanderbilt. Occupy Vanderbilt brought a floating tent to the rally in order to subvert this state law, which they see as unjust.〔(Protesters Back On Legislative Plaza For Rally Against Law - NewsChannel5.com | Nashville News, Weather & Sports )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Occupy Vanderbilt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
