SLAM! Program
(a working document written in 1996 by Hunter SLAM!)

1.  We are fighting for the right of all people to free quality higher education.

2.  We are fighting for a University that serves the people.  We want full and direct democratic control of the University by the University community of students, workers, and faculty.  We call for the immediate transfer of control of the University from the Broad of Trustees, which represents the interests of a tiny ruling elite, to a democratically elected University Council of students, workers, and faculty.

3.  We are fighting for an education that aids us in our struggles for liberation and in the creation of a new society.  We call for the democratic reorganization of the curriculum, methods of teaching, and the grading system.

4.  We are fighting for unconditional freedom of political expression on campus including free access to the campus by all members of the community and an end to all practices of University administration intended to suppress political activity.

5.  We are fighting for the immediate cancellation of all bonds and other outstanding debts that drain money from the University to further profit the rich.

6.  We are fighting for conditions of life that enable us to learn.  these include free quality  food, shelter, healthcare, childcare, transportation, tutoring, and remediation for all members of the University community.

7.  We are fighting for an autonomous University.  We insist on the immediate severing of all University ties with corporate, financial, governmental and military institutions that contribute to the maintenance of the existing oppressive social order.

8.  We are fighting for an end to police terror on and off campus.  We call for the police to be permanently banned from the University, for the dismantling of the SAFE unit, and for campus security to be placed under democratic control of the University community.

9.  We are fighting for a truly democratic society in which all decisions are made by those who are effected by them, a society commited to meeting the basic needs of all the people and to protecting the planet we share.

10.  We are fighting for an end to all  forms of oppression and exploitation: to white supremacy and all forms of racism, to the oppression of women, to the repression of the full diversity of consensual human sexuality, and to the profit system and the rule of the rich.
