One of the resolutions passed by the UW Faculty Senate last week was titled:

[Class C] Resolution to Establish a Mutual Defense Compact for the Universities of the Big Ten Academic Alliance in Defense of Academic Freedom, Institutional Integrity, and the Research Enterprise

It is important to note that this resolution was drafted by a UW Faculty Senator and is meant to express the will of the UW Faculty Senate to create a “mutual defense compact” with other Big Ten universities. To my knowledge, it has not been shaped by explicit conversations across Big Ten campuses.

If you ran government like a business, you would actually not have a national transportation network.”

FAQS regarding can I get another job when I leave?

Absolutely! We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.

Dear President Carter:

We would like to share some Habitat for Humanity news with you from Wayne County, Ohio. Wayne County is a primarily agricultural area in the northeastern part of Ohio.

The enclosed picture shows Barry Romich with the new Habitat Solar Energy Power Station. Barry has been a Habitat volunteer and supporter for about 10 years. With the help of other generous volunteers and donors, Barry built this trailer to be used on building sites that are not yet connected to the electrical grid.

This trailer serves two purposes. First, it eliminates the need for and cost of either establishing a temporary electrical hook-up or a noisy and polluting generator. Second, and perhaps more importantly, this is an experiment to show how solar energy can be used. Habitat is using this relatively new technology to provide sustainable power. To our knowledge, this may be a first for Habitat.

In any case, we would like to see other chapters use similar sources of alternative energy. We wanted to share this with you. Habitat partnered with the Wayne County Sustainable Energy Network to build this project and the trailer is currently on display at WCSEN's booth at the Wayne County Fair. More details about the Network and this project can be found online at wesen.org.

This trailer, along with the Wayne County ReStore, evidences how Habitat can promote environmental stewardship while also creating housing for those in need. Habitat is well supported and appreciated in our area. We thank you for your national leadership in this worthwhile organization and for taking the time to read this update.

Sincerely,

Ben A. Romich, Jr. Creston, Ohio

Hi <name crossed out>-

I've given this some thought, and I am not willing to participate in an effort led by an Israeli institution given the current humanitarian violations in Gaza.

I write this without any knowledge of your own personal position or work relative to the IDF actions. This is my personal boycott of an institutional set of forces, and I am sorry for any personal implications for you or your work.

Please know that I would welcome discussion of my decision, particularly if I have underestimated any ways in which taking part in this volume could help create greater economic and civil justice for the Palestinian people.

Respectfully,
-Jennie

Slide shows picture of Bush on TV screen, after being asked about how he understood tribal sovereignty. quote is "Bush replied (in part) "Tribal sovereignty means that. It's sovereign. It's...you're a....you're a...you've been given a sovereignty... And you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."
