I originally wasn't going to revive this, but tonight's EIP introduction made it almost a moral imperative. If you were going to go through with this and actually come up with three bullet points, these are my suggestions. 1) Greater Transparency - For me, this means more numbers coming from CSO. The idea that Petal Modeste suggested we use Above the Law to find out about rescinded offers and deferred associates is a joke. I understand that their job isn't to get us, the current class, jobs but to get all current and future students employed. I also realize that if we all boycott a firm that seems to be offering a lot of illusory jobs, then it would look bad for the school and the firm. But tough shit. The CSO has the information, they must because the deferred students and those with rescinded offers are probably thumping on them pretty hard. Give it to us. Similarly, the idea of more transparency could go towards a general accounting of expenses - not quite Jessica's line item, but a budget nonetheless. 2)A Staff Lunchroom - Moglen has mentioned this before and it's a terrible sight. On the days of "Faculty Lunches", the support staff shifts from foot to foot waiting for the lunch to end so that they can go through the room and access the only fridge they are able to use. Conveniently, faculty lunches occur at lunch, so this means that the staff can't eat lunch during lunch. If Columbia wants to project itself as a community, it should consider the staff a part of that community and at least spring some cash to give them a fridge somewhere they can access. Also, as a cynical point, this would get public sentiment on our side - always important in a protest. 3) Free Parking - Since every protest should have one unreasonable demand, so that we can make concessions and each side can claim a victory.
