From: "Vanessa Vaile" <vcrary@qwest.net>  List Editor: smead@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU  Editor's Subject: Campaigns to reinstate Adjunct Labor Ed Prof Don Giljum]  Author's Subject: Campaigns to reinstate Adjunct Labor Ed Prof Don Giljum  Date Written: Fri, May 6, 2011  Date Posted: Sat, 06 May 2011 19:57:40 -0400

Two petitions on behalf of UMSL adjunct labor education professor Don
Giljum are now available online, one from UALE (United Association of
Labor Educators) and the other from New Faculty Majority. Both address the
recent U Mo "Breitbarting" (character assassination by doctored video)
incident, with different but overlapping emphasis and target audience.
Coordinated campaigns include a letter writing campaign, membership email
blitz, blogging and social media coverage.


NFM's REINSTATE GILJUM petition is at MoveOn's new petition site, SignOn,
 http://signon.org/sign/reintstate-adjunct-professor

UALE's Defend Labor Education petition is at Care2's The Petition Site,
 http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/defend-labor-education/.

At http://uale.org/responses-attacks-um-labor-studies, Judy Ancel asks that
"letters of support for Don Giljum be sent to University of Missouri-St.
Louis
Chancellor Thomas F. George, chancellor@umsl.edu, copy to Deborah Baldini,
Associate Dean for Continuing Education, BaldiniD@msx.umsl.edu, denouncing
forced resignation of Don with no investigation, no due process and
violation of
academic freedom and calling for his reinstatement and rehiring in future
semesters."

For those wanting to learn more about the issue and review recent media
coverage, UALE has a page with links to articles and downloadable
statements and
other documents,
