Roosevelt University is offering a course on the Occupy movement called “Occupy Everywhere” that examines the movement and the issue of economic inequality in the U.S. The professor told the Sun-Times that he studies social movements, and the school's downtown campus is right near the Occupy action. The Sun-Times writes:

“I study social movements and this was something unfolding right in front of us,” said Jeff Edwards, who is teaching the class. “We can take advantage of being in Chicago.”

Don't go trying to sign up for it, though. The three-credit political science course has 32 undergraduate students enrolled. They will read the Occupy! Gazette and hear guest lectures. The professor says the syllabus "is not a doctrinaire," and he will present a range of opinions.
