OPINION AND COMMENTARY OF INFORMATION IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
AND JUST LIKE THAT, MILLS WENT CO-ED
Last week, Mills College President Beth Hillman said that Mills College's future was subject to a vote by the Board of Trustees and could change if the funding situation was altered.
Well, funds started to pour in. Letters were sent to high rollers. Strategic fundraising campaigns were being organized. Mills could be saved at any moment! Quick, time for the next major move.
So they WILL be taking in first year undergraduate students - just from UC Berkeley, not Mills College.
What will it take for the Mills College students and alumnae to see what is really going on here? Actions speak louder than words. The bottom line speaks loudest of all.
Are today's Millenial protestors any match for those of the 90's or the 60's? Are they ready to Strike?
The Mills Institute Resistance has decided to ban anonymous accounts from their Slack channel, thus restricting the resistance to only current students and alumnae. Links to these blog posts are being routinely deleted from the Save Mills and SPAM Facebook pages. Demoralizers are in these groups promoting the idea "it's good that Mills is closing". Gatekeepers are ensuring that all protest is managed in a top-down approach. Grass roots efforts are being discouraged, for example speaking to the legal team behind saving Sweet Briar college and forming a 501(c)3 for an independent Save Mills coalition. Recordings of Town Hall meetings are not being released to the public.
Meanwhile there seems to be almost no effort to get people out on social media promoting their hashtags - #SaveMills and #MillsCollege barely come up in Twitter.
Control the narrative, control the opposition, channel dissent. Put the protesters in a sand box where they can't get in anyone's way.
When you are told one thing and the next week you see the complete opposite thing happening...something is rotten. Is it anonymous comments on social media causing that? Staff trying to blow the whistle without losing their jobs?
No, the smell comes from the gap between what President Hillman said "the move is pending further consideration and action by the Board of Trustees" and what she did "200 first-year coeds from UCB living on campus from July".

FULL SPECTRUM SPIN
Occupy Mills reached out to share they were kicked out of the Save Mills Slack group for posting articles from our #MillsForever investigation. Their screenshots below prove censorship is happening and efforts are under way to make it difficult for anyone working at Mills or UCB who might have knowledge of what is really going on to speak out. People are afraid to speak out too strongly against the deal. Does Berkeley want to retain any Mills staff?
Good questions here. See if you can find them on Facebook any more, though.
