Please read, sign, and circulate this petition of NU President Morton Schapiro and Provost Daniel Linzer circulated today by Northwestern Faculty, Staff, Students, and Friends in Support of Academic Integrity, an ad hoc group seeking your support to stop Boeing, General Dynamics, Caterpillar, and Abbott Laboratories from installing their guy to run the premiere global studies research institute at Northwestern. (These are the firms whose CEOs and directors dominate the Northwestern Board of Trustees.)
My colleagues and I will be making a presentation to the Faculty Senate on Wednesday, March 2 and would love your support.
Here's the link to the petition to "Withdraw Appoint of Ret. Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry to Run NU Buffett Institute"on change.org:
The Deportation Research Clinic is part of the Buffett Institute for Global Studies at Northwestern. So is a research working group on the Global Research University, of which I am a co-convener. Eikenberry could and appears likely to discontinue both.
The details are in the petition. Please sign and spread the word on Facebook and other social media. Thank you!!!
