For those interested in the ongoing fight to restore the jobs of 9 fired
tenured faculty at the San Francisco Art Institute, the student action
group has created a new website, which is much better organized than their
previous informational wiki:
www.sfaistudentaction.com/
There's also a 7 minute summary on youtube, for those who like music with
their activism:

And the petition (which many frameworkers have contributed to, thank you)
now stands at over 1000 signatures:
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sfaivotes/
Pretty impressive, considering the looming deadline of the MFA and
graduate shows and graduation itself (this weekend), that these students
(those graduating and those who are returning next year) are still
standing in support of their faculty. If that's not a testament to how
important they feel this issue to be, I don't know what is.
best,
Chris
