Hi Jerry, You are right: The whole incident showed very well How Class (Power) Works! I am working with the "Program in Academic Freedom and Tenure" and with the "American Civil Liberties Union" right now, to see what can be done.

More ominously, there is a _trend_ beginning in 2002 showing an increasing _rate_ of exclusions -- a consequence of the War on Civil Liberties which began in 2000 and accelerated in late 2001. An unintended irony perhaps in your case is that your exclusion was an object lesson on "How Class Works": especially, concerning the capitalist (and imperialist) state. PLEASE let us know if there is anything we can do to be of assistance. In solidarity, Jerry
