[...] actions like the sit-in at Ohio State University (which you can keep up with here, here, here, and here), Boise announced yesterday that they are refusing to purchase stolen wood that comes from Grassy. [...]

I’m pretty sure that Juan wasn’t serious.

Juan: Your comment is totally absurd! You are an idiot! The United States has a long heritage of protesting. What do you think the Boston Tea Party was?

OSU’s stance on this issue is ludicrous. Their refusal to even discuss these grave accusations is totally indefensible. OSU IS A PUBLIC ORGANIZATION!! THEY HAVE TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE PUBLIC!

Update from OSU campus:

Five OSU students are still sitting in President Gee’s office. Gee is there, but is refusing to meet with the five students from Free The Planet. The rally has ended outside, but supporters are waiting outside the building – ready to support the five students should they be forced out of the building by police.

Free The Planet is scheduled to meet with University administration on Thursday to finalize OSU’s forest resources policy, the students inside Gee’s office are demanding that Gee sign a memorandum of understanding that will ensure that OSU commit to a strong policy on Thursday which would include OSU refusing to purchase copy paper that is sourced from Grassy Narrows – at OSU that means OfficeMax brand paper.

Check back for pictures and updates.
