Dreszer and other protesters are also expressing frustration with what they perceive to be the administration’s lack of willingness to engage protesters in conversation.
According to members of Occupy Harvard, the protest has made attempts to invite members of the administration to participate in general assemblies and to begin a dialogue about the occupation moving forward.
During a general assembly on the first night of the camp, Dean of Student Life Suzy Nelson attempted to convince protesters to move to Tercentenary Theatre, where they would be less disruptive to freshman dorms.
Occupiers refused to move but invited Nelson to join the group for a general assembly the next day. Due to a miscommunication, Nelson did not make an appearance, leaving occupiers confused and discouraged.
A spokesperson for Faust and Garber declined to comment as to whether the president or provost had personally engaged with any of the occupiers.
