Timeline

The following is a timeline of Occupy Vanderbilt events and activity.

Mar. 19, 2012: Occupy Vanderbilt held a rally at 5 p.m. on the steps of Kirkland Hall, the university's administration building. Dining workers, occupy Nashville participants, and students representing Occupy Vanderbilt spoke at the rally.
Mar. 21, 2012: Vanderbilt held the 2012 NACUFS southern regional conference. Occupy Vanderbilt interrupted the National Association of College & University Food Services event with a mic check. 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.
