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

In an explosion of offensive fireworks, Penn State scored on every possession in the first 30 minutes in Evanston Saturday, and Northwest- ern punted only once. The two teams combined for 574 yards of offense and 51 points – more than had been tallied in any four-quarter Penn State game this fall. By scoring last on a lightning 40 second drive that covered 63 yards, the Nittany Lions went to the locker room with a 27-24 halftime lead over the high-octane Wildcats. None of the 40,004 spectators at Ryan Field or the prime-time Big Ten Network television audience could suspect that this high-scoring contest would morph into a defensive standoff in the final 30 minutes. But the key defensive play of the night – a 63- yard return by Lion linebacker Gerald Hodges of an interception that he made of a Dan Persa pass, tipped at the line of scrimmage by Jordan Hill – set the stage for the game’s final score in the fourth minute of the second half. Silas SILAS REDD runs around left end for several of his career-high 164 yards in State's 34-24 win at Northwestern.

Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

NCAA Student Athlete Unionization: NLRB Punts on Northwestern University Football Team George J. Bivens* ABSTRACT The NCAA has established a system through which universities profit tremendously from the athletic careers of student athletes, yet athletes' scholarships do not cover the full cost of attendance., With no guarantee of scholarship retention, young men and women commit long hours to athletic programs, risking both bodily injury and career aspirations. For years, nothing was done to improve conditions for student athletes. Recently, however, both current and former student athletes have begun campaigning for expanded student athletes' rights. In 2013, the Northwestern University football team sought to unionize to gain collective bargaining rights and secure safer and more favorable conditions for student athletes. This Comment initially discusses, the current student athlete unionization movement, which has been led by Kain Colter and Ramogi Huma since 2013. Next, this Comment examines the path of the movement, which began with discussions and protests and moved to the National Labor Relations Board's Chicago Regional Office.

    Musings Fall 2017 Newsletter Volume XXI • Number 1 1 From the Chair t has been another extremely busy year for the English Department! As described in better detail on the facing page, we have added a simply extraordinary trio of colleagues to the Department’s faculty: Natasha Trethewey (two term Poet Laureate of the U.S. and a Pulitzer Prize winner); Tristram I th th Wolff (specialist in 18 -/19 -Century British literature, Comparative and Transatlantic Romanticisms, and environmental humanities); and, in happy collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program where she holds a joint appointment, Michelle Huang (specialist in contemporary Asian American literature, posthumanism, and feminist science studies). We saw a new degree program, an MFA+MA (in creative writing and English literature), through the long approval process. This program will create new bridges between these two parts of our operations, and we will be conducting the first round of admissions for it this season. The Department also completed a major Self Study and external review process, which was the source of enormous encouragement about our strengths and trajectory and also of new and creative prompts for us to think ourselves and our programs forward, into what will -- soon enough! -- be the middle part of the 21st century. It’s been a very good year for us! Laurie Shannon Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of Literature A Word from EGSO As Evanston prepares for winter we would like to take a moment to think back over the year past. We began the 2016-2017 academic year with our annual Fall Collation, during which Department Chair Laurie Shannon welcomed us back and gave us counsel on the importance of monotasking— nurturing the deep concentration necessary to do work well.

  • College Athletes' Rights in the Age of the Super Conference: the Case of the All Players United Campaign
    Journal of Intercollegiate Sport, 2014, 7, 11-34 http://dx.doi.org/10.1123/jis.2013-0052 www.JIS-Journal.com © 2014 Human Kinetics, Inc. ARTICLE College Athletes’ Rights in the Age of the Super Conference: The Case of the All Players United Campaign Ellen Staurowsky Drexel University Among the most central ethical obligations that higher education in the United States owes to students is the protection of their right to freely disagree, form judgments on their own, and evaluate evidence (AAC&U Board of Directors, 2006). This commentary argues that the ethical obligation to ensure that the academic freedom that should be available to all students is not met when it comes to the treatment of college athletes, most particularly those college athletes participating in the big-time, revenue-generating sports of football and men’s basketball. Using the case example of the All Players United (APU) Campaign, a protest staged by less than two dozen college football players in the fall of 2013, issues associated with athletes right to freedom of speech and freedom of association are examined. The All Players United (APU) campaign is first described followed by an exploration of the group think evidenced in the reaction by college sport officials and football coaches to the APU. To provide context, the APU action is considered within a broader historical overview of college athlete protests and attempts to affect change in the areas of compensation, health and well-being, and educational access. Using a conceptual frame that recognizes that college athletes are recognized as neither workers nor students, difficulties associated with the location of college athletes’ rights are explored.

    ~Performance Studies Conference Performance StudIes FormatIons Connections / Contestations / Coalitions March 21-24, 1996 Department of Performance Studies Northwestern University We dedicate the Performance Studies Formations Conference to Wallace A. Bacon Professor Emeritus of Interpretation/Performance Studies Northwestern University Professor Bacon founded the department in 1947 and served as chair for 32 years until his retirement in 1979. A distinguished scholar and teacher of Shakespeare, he served as editor of Text and Performance Quarterly from 1989-1991. It is most fitting that he will open the 1996 Performance Studies Conference at Northwestern University with welcoming remarks. We salute him on this occasion, and acknowledge with gratitude, and great affection, his leadership, legacy, and inspiration. March 21,1996 Northwestern University Welcome to the 1996 Performance Studies Conference. We are happy that you are here to engage a remarkable array of performance studies presentations. This year's conference program was selected from the more than 300 proposals and papers that we received in response to our open call for the best work in performance studies. We issued our call for papers/proposals without announcing a specific conference theme because we believed that performance studies, itself, could be a focus, or prism, for illuminating a wide spectrum of issues, methodologies, and perspectives. Your response to our open call surpassed expectations about the quality, quantity, and especially the interdiscip1inary locations of performance studies work. The presenters at this conference represent more than 15 departments and disciplines, ranging from Art and Art History to Sociology, from Anthropology to Theatre. From this vigorous mix of conference submissions we forged the title Performance Studies Formations: Connections / Contestations / Coalitions.
