Administrative history

The Toronto Student Movement (TSN) was founded in Toronto in 1968 as an association of radical students at the University of Toronto. The organization and its members were generally part of a neo-Marxist New Left, focusing on promoting campus democracy through university governance, interrogating class hierarchies embodied by the University, and building a shared movement between students and workers.
