@oliviaebertz@BrownUniversity Since 1986 at Johs Hopkins where the faculty came out to support students building shanties vs Apartheid, and 38 years of academia since, I’ve never seen faculty being threatened like this
Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.
The CSU has the money to avoid any cuts to direct student services. Let’s use our people power to pushback on cuts to student instruction and support services! #NoCourseCuts#NoJobCuts#WhenWeFightWeWin
