…including Michigan's stunning failure to do adequate testing. The University Administration is, foolishly, playing hardball, asking a court for a preliminary injunction against the strikers, which could in theory bankrupt the union and worse. President Mark Schlissel at Michigan is about to go down in academic infamy if he keeps going down this route.
(As a sidenote, let me observe that it was stupid of the grad student union, the GEO, to include a completely irrelevant demand about defunding university police in the strike demands: this is the trendy and irrelevant bullshit of the moment, and is wholly unrelated to the real issues confronting grad student workers.)
