Pétition: accès libre à Olympes de Gouges

Après 10 ans de tribulation de locaux temporaires en locaux temporaires, l'UFR de Linguistique est en passe de prendre ses quartier dans le bâtiment Olympe de Gouges de l'université Paris Diderot. Las! Au delà du 3e étage, les locaux ne sont accessibles qu'au moyen d'un badge, qui devra être obtenu laborieusement auprès du gardien, chaque fois qu'un étudiant voudra nous rendre visite. Une pétition est en cours pour tenter de changer cet état de choses, contraire à l'idée que l'on se fait d'une université ouverte sur la ville: n'hésitez pas à la signer! http://www.change.org/fr/pétitions/paris7-accès-libre
