Gregory's Server@emma @QasimRashid good catch, I didn't realize that was part of the deal.

 @QasimRashid @emma considering that the University of California has said that it will not consider divesting, I think what is happening at Brown is a step in the right direction. Hopefully the progress at Brown will make it harder for UoC to ignore it's students. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/university-california-statement-divestment  @docpop @QasimRashid @emma Yes! Harder to ignore and easier to engage. The time lag does mean the perception of urgency in the fall is bound to be different. Not good. Maybe a bandwagon could fimd more timely action. @QasimRashid @docpop @emma No it isn’t, this is nothing more than a delay tactic. There’s no reason to wait five months for something this urgent. And it’s not like universities care about things being “on the books” when they show no hesitation about allowing police brutality on students. |
@docpop @emma I agree I don't like delaying it 5 months, but on the books is better than no vote at all. I'm hopeful this builds momentum to get other universities to step up in the same way.
