Today we had a great turnout (roughly 40 faculty and 400 students) for our Faculty Solidarity Rally at the Kuruvungna Steps (Janss Steps). Speakers included Michael Gutperle (Physics), Jake Aschieris (Film), Natalie Masuoka (Asian American Studies department chair and Political Science), Anna Markowitz (Education), and Graeme Blair (Political Science). Candace Hansen (Musicology) served as Master of Ceremonies and Santa. The rally was covered by the Los Angeles Times (pdf).
After the rally at the Kuruvungna Steps, we marched to Schoenberg Hall and then picketed the Faculty Club.
