Campaign for Tenure Justice for Ignacio Chapela

Greetings from the Tenurejustice campaign!

As a result of the GEAN conference (http://www.geaction.org) session the tenure
justice campaign was launched. The session was about Prof. Ignacio Chapela¹s
struggle for tenure and the connections to the larger issue of the corporate
takeover of UC Berkeley campus. Chapela's contract with the university has
two more months until it expires. We need to act quickly!

*** Our first urgent ACTION ITEM is to get alumni of UC
Berkeley to write letters to the editor of California
Monthly. A subsequent email will explain this, and you
can forward it to your alumni friends, family, and
colleagues. This is urgent because they are presently
assembling the letters to the editor, so these should
be submitted ASAP as a response to the article they published in this months
magazine!
