Andrew,
This is not a UWEC teach-in, but a teach-in
put on by campus groups at Davies Center.
The (minimal) costs have been entirely footed
by the sponsoring organizations: SFPJ, PSA,
Amnesty International, etc. The university facilities
are open to any campus groups to put on
informational events. There have been
events on the war and foreign policy
from many other perspectives
as well. The teach-in contributes to
the atmosphere of dialogue on campus.

Subject: FW: need help answering a call about the "teach-in"
I took a call from an irate local citizen who wants to know the
following about the UW-Eau Claire "teach-in" this week:
1) Who's footing the bill? Is tax payer money being used here
since some activities are in Davies Center?
2) Are any of the organizations paying for access to our
facilities, or are we (UWEC) covering the costs?
3) Where's the budget info?
4) Who organized this?
She wants a copy of the budget -- presumably showing who's
paying, and for what. Specifically, I think she wants to know if her
tax dollars are supporting this in some form. You can see where she is
going with this, and I don't think there's any point in trying to debate
her. She never let me say a word when she talked at me.
Can you help me get this info to send to her?
