Official Twitter account providing updates from the Save Mills College Coalition - as Mills faces the threat of closure after 169 years. #SaveMills#All4Mills
I stand in strong solidarity with Mills College staff who are striking against the union-busting tactics of Northeastern University who recently acquired the campus. Our educators and students deserve better and this entire shady deal gets more and more suspicious.
Mills is a 170-year-old institution and its sudden purchase and rezoning along with these union busting tactics are concerning. We need transparency and an investigation like the council unanimously voted to ask for a few months ago.

@MrMadbrain Open Sound Control is a very loosely specified protocol, so the answer depends a lot on what you're sending it to. You can read more about the specification at https://t.co/BR4NdjotX9 , but the answer is really going to depend on the receiver.
Computer music nerds know that OSC - Open Sound Control, the 21st century successor to MIDI - was invented at UC Berkeley in 2002.
This was influenced by an earlier UDP-based protocol invented by Chris Brown of Mills College in 1997.
Mills is at the forefront of music development
IT'S OFFICIAL! Today, the Oakland City Council voted unanimously in favor of a resolution calling for an investigation of the Mills acquisition. Please join us in thanking @ShengForOakland and Vice Mayor @Kaplan4Oakland for this major step toward justice and truth.
As a Mills Alumnae myself, I understand how important it is to have safe learning spaces for women and the LGBTQ+ community. The sudden end to this pivotal, women-serving safe space as women's rights are under attack is a tragedy. We need answers. 3/
Thank you for my colleagues for voting to approve a resolution calling for an investigation into the closure of Mills College. Students & staff deserve transparency around this sudden sale & closure of one of the two remaining women's colleges in CA.1/
