TUAA call continued

Thanks, Mara, for your post. We both had major issues that will basically roadblock any further discussion until TUAA discusses with Tufts' administration and lawyers, etc. I agree with Mara that this might be an opportunity for us to lead the discussion, instead of responding after the fact as us progressives have tended to do in the past on Tufts' campus.

Jonathan Kaplan, who works for the Alumni Office, also offered to be on a call with TPAN members if there is interest. Based on where we are in discussions with TUAA at this point, I think we should consider this as an option for the future.

I do agree with Lou that we should push on the Liz issue. Mara and I were informed that the executive committee turns over every few years, so if there is not a policy in place, a similar incident could happen easily again in the future. They have definitely learned from our actions, but as we know there's a difference between words and actions.

Let us know if you have any questions.
