If you have not yet heard the news that the Mills College administration sold this treasured cultural institution out from under its students, staff, faculty and alumnae, it's time to get informed.

If you have only heard the news that the NU acquisition is a done deal, it's time to hear the truth!

This Zoom discussion will feature perspectives from affected community members at Mills, in Oakland, and around the nation, where Women's colleges and small liberal arts colleges are under attack by corporate predators, just like public schools.

The presentation will reveal discoveries by Save Mills College, All4Mills, and other bodies, including:

• Why Mills didn't have to close
• The "Shock and Awe" campaign
• Change, unmanaged=suffering of students & citizens
• Possible futures for Mills
• Community consequences

With appearances by affected students, parents, faculty, survivors of other college acquisitions, plus OUSD leaders who will comment on the "takeover trend" in education (register to receive updates), this event will create space for more discussion around this devastating occurrence than the College ever permitted its community.

This event takes place from May 3rd to May 18th, the anniversary of the 1990 student strike. Notable alumnae from the historic strike class will also make remarks.

This is a FREE event! Lucky guests will receive raffle prizes that celebrate the soul of Mills College.

Watch Party May 3-18

Prepare for this event by watching "The Unmaking of a College," a new feature film about a similar crisis at Hampshire College. ($4.99 for a 5-day rental; sponsorship available from event organizer.) This first-run theatrical release about a similar corporate takeover of a small liberal arts college reveals parallels and important information for all who are concerned with America's education crisis.

Host a watch party with your friends and associates!

With women's rights in the crosshairs, how could school leaders sell out a hotbed of Women's Leadership?

With violence everywhere, how could school leaders give up a safe space for women and trans scholars?
