on March 28th, a forum on the topic of academic freedom was held at UC Berkeley. There was a disproportionate focus on the case of Ward Churchill at University of Colorado at Boulder, and he and Natsu Saito were on this panel along with Prof. Carlos Munoz, dean of arts and humanities Ralph Hexter, and the head of the ethnic studies department Ling-chi Wang. This was the day right after Spring break, and the student newspaper did not advertise the event, so there were relatively few students,...

'Wild 94.9' Supports High School Student Walk-out in East Side San Jose
I was amazed to see that this mainstream radio station is really doing local activism and probably having a significant impact, despite being a Clear Channel station. I'd heard the Doghouse guys before cutting down Bush as stuff got worse recently, but now they're really doing something concrete.
