 A strategy and informational session on how to organize around the issue of 
 increasing corporate control of the university. (The participation in this 
 event is free, a 5 dollar donation for the food will be much appreciated).  
    The discussion will focus on the history of the Novartis alliance with 
 the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley and the tenure case of 
 Ignacio Chapela. * Dr. Chapela?s tenure was denied, despite a unanimous 
 recommendation from his department, after he published an article in Nature 
 in November 2001 observing the contamination of native corn in Mexico by 
 material from illegally-planted genetically modified corn.      Students 
 will also talk about their experience organizing Students for Responsible 
 Research (SRR), a group formed to publicize and resist Novartis? alliance 
 with the college.      Don?t miss it!  Join the session and have lunch 
 with students, professors and other interested people involved in the 
 struggle to have a public university system free of corporate control.     
 If you want to be involved in organizing for the tenure case, this event, 
 and its follow-up please write to tenurejustice@riseup.net.  \n
