On the occupation of Clio Hall and the treatment of Graduate School staff

Cole M. Crittenden

“There are real power differentials on this campus, and we all have an obligation to be mindful of them. The students, postdocs, and faculty who occupied Clio Hall seem to have abused their privileges in the ways they treated staff as an expression of protest. That is wrong.”
