As promised at the meeting last night, here is the list of actions we will be taking on a day to day basis.

FRIDAY: THIS MATTERS TO US! Put up sheet signs, post signs in your windows, etc. That say “This Matters to Us” and “Support the Faculty”. Basically, we’re trying to make the Administration aware that we know what’s happening, and we’re not happy.

MONDAY: ALBION GEAR SOLIDARITY AND SENATE MEETING! Monday night is the student senate meeting and Donna Randall will be there to both explain her side of the story in this situation and (hopefully) take questions from concerned students. So, this is an important day for solidarity. Wear your Albion College gear and Albion College colors. Show the whole campus-students, faculty, staff and administration-that this is our school and we have pride for the school. Please continue to wear all of this gear to the Senate meeting as well.

A note about the Senate meeting: There are going to be a lot of us there and a lot of us are going to have important things to say. We urge you to come prepared with your own letter and your own questions. But for the take of time management and the fact that this time needs to be well spent, we will be taking any and all questions you may have at our email address (albionklaw@gmail.com). That way if we receive a huge amount of questions we can consolidate, plenty of people have the same concerns.

TUESDAY: SUPPORT THE FACULTY DAY! This is day for showing our support to the faculty. We at KLAW are personally getting together to cook some goodies for the professors as well as a write a letter of support in behalf of Keeping Liberal Arts at Work. This letter will be made public at this time via both this tumblr and the Pleiad. What you can do is help us out? Don’t have time to bake? Just make sure you let your staff know that you appreciate their work here on campus and you support them in whatever may happen. Write an email, drop a letter off, bring a stressed prof a cup of coffee, just give them a hug. Do what you want, just show them you care!

WEDNESDAY: BUDGET TRANSPARENCY DAY! One of the biggest goals here at KLAW is budget transparency. We understand that this college and the entire nation is under economic stress, especially here in the state of Michigan. We as students and paying members of this institution, however, have no access to the budget or idea as to where our money is going. On this day, we please ask you to go to Ferguson and ask for the budget. Please do so politely and respect the people in the building. Not more then one or two students should go in at a time. You will probably be told no. Do not make a fuss. Just thank the staff for their time and be on your merry way. There is no harm in asking for the budget and you will not get in trouble. The simple fact that a large number of us will be asking is enough.

If you in any way, do not feel comfortable in doing this do not do so. There are plenty of other ways to get involved. It is just important that you do get involved.

THURSDAY: POST IT! Today is another faculty and department day. Have a favorite prof (or five)? Write some post it notes and stick them up around campus and keep doing it all day. Tell your profs you love them and why all around campus. This way the whole campus can see. We recommend logging into ACIS and doing at least one note per prof you’ve had. I know we’ve all got favorites, but its important to support everyone. KLAW will meet to create a mass of post-it notes the night before. This meeting time will be shared.

Pending information received before this day, there may also be another step to Thursday. We will keep you posted.

FRIDAY: PRESENTING THE PETITION AND LETTERS DAY! All week we will be in the KC with both a petition as well as collecting letters. Please stop by and drop off a letter into the box. We will personally be delivering them on Friday to Donna Randall’s office. The form letter is below, feel free to just copy that out and hand write it or write your own.

Let this be known to everyone who was or wasn’t in attendance at the meeting:

We are not supporting or condoning any sort of action that breaks local, state, or federal laws. In addition we are not going to be violating any of the rules of the student handbook. If any of these actions are done in the name of the staff and faculty they are not done in our name (KLAW).
