DESCRIPTION:Learn what's really been happening behind the scenes at Mills College, and 
 what the Northeastern acquisition means for Oakland.\n----\nIf you have not 
 yet heard the news that the Mills College administration sold this 
 treasured cultural institution out from under its students, staff, faculty 
 and alumnae, it's time to get informed.\n\nThis Zoom discussion will 
 feature perspectives from affected community members at Mills, in Oakland, 
 and around the nation, where women's colleges and small liberal arts 
 colleges are under attack by corporate predators, just like public 
 schools.\n\nThe presentation will reveal discoveries by Save Mills College, 
 All4Mills, and other bodies, including:\n\n* Why Mills didn't have to 
 close\n* The "Shock and Awe" campaign\n* How students & faculty have 
 suffered and been silenced\n* Possible futures for Mills\n* Community 
 consequences\n\nWith appearances by affected students, parents, faculty, 
 survivors of other college acquisitions, plus OUSD and Oakland leaders who 
 will comment on the "takeover trend" in education, this event will create 
 space for more discussion around this devastating occurrence than the 
 College ever permitted its community.\n\nThis event takes place from May 
 3rd to May 18th, the anniversary of the 1990 student strike. Notable 
 alumnae from the historic strike class will also make remarks.\n\nLucky 
 guests will receive raffle prizes.\n\n---\n\nWatch Party May 
 3-18\n\nPrepare for this event by watching "The Unmaking of a College," a 
 new feature film about a similar crisis at Hampshire College.
