Students on Strike
Many Skidmore students joined a national student strike of the Vietnam War in May of 1970.  According to a special strike issue of the Skidmore News, students demanded that (1) the U.S. government end the opression of political dissidents and offer a fair trial to Bobby Seale, (2) the U.S. government cease its escalation of the Vietnam war into Cambodia and Laos, (3) universities end their complicity with the U.S. war machine by terminating such programs as defense research.
