Students, including those at VU, have taken action more often in the past, particularly beginning in the 1970s.

Sometimes these protests focused on changes at the university itself, with pleas for more democratic governance, for example, and other times on larger political and social issues calling on the university administration to take action. 

VU historian Ab Flipse takes us through the history of protest at the VU. In addition, (former) members of our VU community participate in a conversation about their own personal protest here at VU.
