Academics and alumni have marked the 25th anniversary of a struggle over land at UAS-B that was linked to a proposed biotech park. They have published a handbook about the campaign and hope it will encourage similar efforts over land-related disputes.

Those involved have brought out a handbook documenting the struggle. The publication is intended not only to record the campaign but also to encourage similar land-related efforts in the future.
