faculty at private institutions are learning real time that their universities' boards care as much about them and their 'voices' as they do the students, which is to say not an inch compared to their profit margins and endowments. we can only hope-- tenured/TT union time? 👀

Spraying chemicals in the faces of the students you are supposed to protect is unforgivable. President Ono should resign.

hey hey, look who learned how to use active voice about Israel

While the inciting incident was a statement on Palestine, you can read the letter and the timeline of events to see how this is not only about Palestine but also about nonprofit mismanagement.

Frankly, I & the organizers would rather focus on the genocide in Palestine.

One of the wisest and simultaneously scariest quotes I've ever heard was 'people don't change until it's too painful not to'.

“How did this happen?” They occupied a seven-story building for six days.

also in this letter:

board enlisted Cause Effective's services. I don't know what's more damning to one's credibility: that Katrina Venturina — board member of both Kundiman and CE — engaged in this conflict of interest, or that Cause Effective went through with it

I'm devastated to have to share that Kundiman has been betrayed by Sarah Gambito, Joseph Legaspi, Ricco Siasoco, and the Kundiman board. We call for their resignations.

All this because of a simple statement of solidarity with Palestinians.
