Most strikingly, its supporters have positioned it as an unshrinking effort to address the racial and class in...

UCSC Rallies for 'Wages Not War!' 
On Thursday, February 15, hundreds of students and workers at UC Santa Cruz joined more than two dozen schools across the nation in taking action against war. Locally, this meant calling for a reprioritization of resources to focus on the needs of low-paid service workers rather than on weapons development and war. Poverty-struck workers in the UC system have been promised and allocated money by both the CA state legislature and the UC system itself, yet UC President Robert Dynes has refused ...

Support Ward Churchill. Stop the Inquisition. The following is an essay that deconstructs the charges of research misconduct that were leveled against Ward Churchill – charges that were obvious retaliation for his comments concerning 9-11.
Please take the time to read this report. Internal appeals are now underway and it is possible that Ward Churchill may be fired from his tenured position at the University of Colorado at any time now.
If this happens, we cannot let it go unchallenged........
