Dear Chair Powell,
Under Division Bylaw 5.B, we formally petition the Academic Senate to call a special
meeting of the Berkeley Division to have an open discussion of the university’s handling
of sexual harassment, both administrative failures and procedural obstacles. We
request that this meeting be called during the week March 28 - April 1, 2016, and in a
large enough space to seat hundreds of faculty.
