14 November 2016 Morton O. Schapiro, President Daniel I. Linzer, Provost Patricia Telles-Irvin, Vice President for Student Affairs Philip L. Harris, Vice President and General Counsel

Re: Northwestern Sanctuary for Undocumented Immigrants Dear President Schapiro, Professor Linzer, and Vice Presidents Telles-Irvin and Harris: We the undersigned faculty, staff, alumni, and students of Northwestern University write in the wake of Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States to declare our commitment to the safety and dignity of all students and workers in our community. We petition the university to declare Northwestern a sanctuary for undocumented students, workers, and their families.

Mr. Trump has declared his intention upon taking office to immediately begin deportation proceedings against millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States, and to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that provides relief for deportation for hundreds of thousands of young people in the United States, including many Northwestern students. If these policies are enacted, they will prove disastrous, subjecting students and workers who are integral to our community to punitive measures, and countering Northwestern’s stated commitment to “the personal and intellectual growth of its students in a diverse academic community.”

We are dismayed at the wave of hatred that has swept across the nation since the election, including threats of deportation against Latina/o youth, bullying of Muslim and LGBT youth, incendiary graffiti and vandalism, and hateful comments directed at students of color on our own campus. In light of very real and immediate threats faced by members of our community, as well as the environment of fear that the election has created, we ask the university to take the following steps:

  • ●
  • Issue a public statement reaffirming the university’s commitment to support and protect

all of its students and workers, regardless of their citizenship status, religion, ethnicity, or national origin;
●●

Reaffirm current admission and financial aid policies regarding undocumented students;

Guarantee student privacy by refusing to release information regarding citizenship status;
●●●
Take steps to protect the visa status and funding of international students; Refuse to comply with federal authorities regarding deportations or immigration raids; Reaffirm the university’s commitment to create a campus atmosphere of respect by denouncing the hate speech directed at immigrant, minority, and LGBTQ students and workers, and by informing the campus of existing resources for reporting and responding

to bias or hate incidents;

  • ●
  • Repair a weakness in current university structure by creating an administrative

mechanism for reporting hate and bias incidents to appropriate state and federal agencies.

Only a few months ago, President Schapiro co-authored an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times defending the principle of safe spaces on university campus. And months earlier he declared Northwestern’s commitment to offering undocumented students the same support offered to its citizen students. Northwestern now has an opportunity to put those words into action by creating a legal sanctuary for its students. Doing so would not only show Northwestern’s commitment to our own campus, but also our solidarity with local communities, as Evanston and Chicago have both affirmed their status as sanctuary cities. While we believe that people of good will can hold diverging political beliefs, we also believe that the safety of students and workers is absolutely essential to create the climate of free inquiry that the university should foster. This is not a time to wait and see how federal policies develop. To the contrary, it is a time to unflinchingly affirm our core values and to work proactively to safeguard the wellbeing of our community with every resource at our disposal. We ask that the university act now to fulfill its mission of “sustaining a safe and healthy Northwestern community.”

    A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century

    A SCENE WITHOUT A NAME: INDIE CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN NEW MUSIC IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY William Robin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Benjamin Piekut © 2016 William Robin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT WILLIAM ROBIN: A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century (Under the direction of Mark Katz) This dissertation represents the first study of indie classical, a significant subset of new music in the twenty-first century United States. The definition of “indie classical” has been a point of controversy among musicians: I thus examine the phrase in its multiplicity, providing a framework to understand its many meanings and practices. Indie classical offers a lens through which to study the social: the web of relations through which new music is structured, comprised in a heterogeneous array of actors, from composers and performers to journalists and publicists to blog posts and music venues. This study reveals the mechanisms through which a musical movement establishes itself in American cultural life; demonstrates how intermediaries such as performers, administrators, critics, and publicists fundamentally shape artistic discourses; and offers a model for analyzing institutional identity and understanding the essential role of institutions in new music. Three chapters each consider indie classical through a different set of practices: as a young generation of musicians that constructed itself in shared institutional backgrounds and performative acts of grouping; as an identity for New Amsterdam Records that powerfully shaped the record label’s music and its dissemination; and as a collaboration between the ensemble yMusic and Duke University that sheds light on the twenty-first century status of the new-music ensemble and the composition PhD program.

President Schapiro’s March 10th email, suggesting that gatherings on and off campus should be cancelled, came only the day before our March dinner. We therefore decided to let members make their own decision whether or not to attend. But as the university extended its Spring break and decided to start Spring Quarter with online courses, and as restaurants were instructed to close and gatherings of more than 10 people are considered unwise, we had no choice but to cancel the April 1st lunch. However, our speaker, NEO President Michal Ginsburg, speaking at NEO's March dinner Professor Daniel Immerwahr of the History Department, has agreed to give his talk remotely, using Northwestern’s Zoom conferencing service.
