Subject: re: SAIA – Interview
Hey Rhonda …
Snowy Sunday evening greetings. Wondering if you've had the chance to think more about this request of mine. Very current this week …
You may have heard that an attempt is underway to block tomorrow morning's Israeli Apartheid Week debut at the U. of M. A ten day-old WAIA room booking, on the verge of being paid for in advance of tomorrow's session, was abruptly cancelled on Friday afternoon. WAIA member Liz Carlyle is disputing the rationale. U. of M. booking services promised to provide WAIA with an alternative space on the fifth floor of the Student Center, for free; very out of the way and low profile. SAIA is insisting that the higher profile venue be restored.
I've received a copy of a note Josh Morry apparently sent out to U. of M. Hillel members, urging them to block the second WAIA venue. If Josh succeeds, he and his allies will have succeeded in totally blocking IAW activities from the U. of M. campus. Quite an accomplishment for a law student.
You wouldn't possibly be able to put Josh Morry and I in touch, would you? Feel free to forward this note to him, if you're in contact by email.
Can you and I speak tomorrow or Tuesday? Front page news, this.
Best …
David Kattenburg
Editor's response: I declined being interviewed by David Kattenburg for the media on IAW since I am a journalit not a participant..
