<p>GESO wasn’t directly involved in the sit-in, although they did support the undergraduate action. At around dinner time, when the University was stalling the arrests of the 15 students and waiting for the news cameras to go away, GESO provided pizza for the crowd gathered outside the admissions office, which was much appreciated.</p>
<p>As to why GESO supported the action, I can’t provide an official statement or anything. However, one of GESO’s main goals is to increase diversity in education, and that is definitely one of the main aims of the financial aid reform movement at Yale. So despite the fact that the sit-in was, in fact, an undergraduate action, GESO’s support isn’t surprising at all.</p>
<p>And to GESO haters - even though this isn’t really the right thread for this discussion - why the intense dislike? What exactly did GESO do to deserve such negativity?</p>
