Student Component
Since the mid-1980s when the group took a political turn towards the student movement, much of the I.S.'s work occurs on university campuses and most of their members are either university students or joined while in university. It was once quite active at the University of Toronto where one member became president of the Student Administrative Council as part of a broader left wing slate.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or component:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
