In Spring 2005 Washington University's Student Worker Alliance was turned down by the WashU Coop as a venue for their victory party, out of fear of retaliation from Quadrangle Housing and the University. In the interest of harmony, I offered them my apartment, and we had a pot luck dinner there, and a few days later a barbecue in my backyard, attended by students from the Coop, the SWA, my "Miracles, Marvels, and Magic" class, and others, including a few faculty. I had invited the entire Faculty Fellows and Faculty Associates list, and all the Deans, Vice Chancellors, and Chancellor. Most politely declined, but some asked to be kept on our email list.
Please support Lecturer's Policy Reform, for the sake of which I joined the 2005 SWA Living Wage Sit-In as a special guest participant-observer. I was asked to speak as a faculty supporter. I asked if I could come as a worker, and I did so.
