Ann,
Thank you. This is a good starting point for the information I will be providing to UCOP. We haven't had time to finalize
the name of team yet but the work is the most important thing. Feel free to call if on my cell if you need to reach me for
anything.
Thanks again.

The Freedom of Expression Resource Team will be activated and present at activities throughout the Day of Action on
October 7. We will be in place to support freedom of expression, maintain safety and assist in preventing disruption of
normal campus activities. Discretion will be required in the implementation of time, place and manner regulations to
achieve our goal of supporting freedom of expression and safety.
As we monitor Facebook and website announcements to get a better idea of activities for the day, we will finalize the
shift schedule for our 16 member resource team. We will follow our activism response protocol: Andrew Wells and I
will coordinate throughout the day in communication with you and the AVC team. I assume Fred will have the campus
leadership team in place to make decisions as issues arise throughout the day. You can indicate whether we will activate
the Emergency Operations Center. The resource team will have an emergency contact list for campus resources from
Police, Labor Relations, Campus Counsel and Student Affairs, including CAPS and CAN counselors. As always, we will
work in collaboration with Police and other campus staff on site.
A general assembly of students has been called for Monday, October 4, at 7pm outside Wellman Hall to plan October 7
activities. As plans are not likely to be communicated on the usuallistservs, Student Affairs staff and Labor Relations can
be asked to report everything they hear to you so that we can be prepared to support students and maintain safety. If
there are faculty teach-ins or walkouts, we should expect to hear announcements about them soon.
I also assume Student Affairs will consult with Police and the leadership team in advance to confirm whether we will
handle things in a similar fashion to March 4 (e.g., if students march through classroom buildings or the library or occupy
a bus terminal area, will we just keep them moving rather than block access). If you think UCOP wants to know today
how the campus will support or respond to certain activities, that will require a leadership team decision.
Please let me know if you need more information for the response. Also, can you ask Stacy to forward links to any
announcements your staff finds?

Subject: Conference Call re: Oct. 7 - Day of Action
Hi All,
I'm writing to touch base on a question I raised during our last conference call regarding
the Oct. 7 Defend Public Education Day of Action. I understand this is intended to be
another one of those actions to be observed by activities across the nation. Based on
previous experience and the continued issues surrounding affordability, we know this will
garner significant activity among some UC campuses.
During move in, our students and union representatives distributed fliers publicizing the
event. We are anticipating significant demonstration activity that day and I surmise other
campuses will also.
Here's a link htto:{/defendcapubliceducation.wordpress.coml
<http://defendcapubliceducation.wordpress.com/>and the flier that was distributed om my
campus is attached. As you can see, there's a good bit of buzz starting. The anarchist
graffiti is already appearing on our campus, their involvement invariably creates problems ...
Are you all interested in a conference call to share how your campus is approaching this
issue, or could you please reply to this message and give me a sense of the level of activity
you're anticipating and how you plan to respond.
Hope the fall is off to a good beginning for you!
Best,
Felicia

Hi all:
I've left a voicemail for Mike Roth of AFSME 3299 proposing a 10 a.m. meeting tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 16, in the
Vanderhoef quad with the four of us (Ken of labor relations, Griselda of student affairs, Lt. Matt, and me). Mike
represents a coalition of labor folks who plan to protest at the debate, including CNA, SEIU, labor Federation, and
"several others," he said.

Dear Colleagues,
Thank you to all you for sharing your thoughts as I work with students. It will be helpful to
have the ground rules in writing as soon as possible. Things are always very fluid with
students (and off campus folks) but at this point, I don't have the sense that they want to
"make a scene and disrupt". I believe they want the same thing Mike Roth talked about, an
opportunity to be part of the energy of the event and some will want to take advantage of the
media and get their messages across in a way that shapes and influences the news of the day
during the noon, five o'clock and eleven o'clock news. Its unfortunate the MU renovations
will not be completed in time to have viewing parties at the coffee house and that ARC
ballroom is booked. Everyone will access to the debate on their computers or televisions or
at private viewing parties but it's the excitement and energy about being at the location
that might fill the quad area that day. I appreciate and understand the reasons for not
opening up the conference center as expressed by Claudia and Joyce and we will encourage
students to respect the ground rules. I think it's safe to assume the crowd will stay as long
as the media is around.

Hi all:
We're going to use the conference center ballrooms for KCRA's "fact check" segment with a panel of about 8 of our
students and 2 of our professors. Political Science and UC Center Sacramento are identifying the students, with possible
help from GSM and law. Jim Sweeney and I have one instructor lined up and are working on the other.
Conference center will remain closedtothe general public. louisewill work with us on appropriate staffing - probably
one person who is familiar with the conference center.

Not sure I would offer a venue that would actually keep them in the area. If they really want to watch the debate they
should probably be directed to one of the locations away from Vanderhoff Quad.
My thoughts no reason to encourage them hanging around once the 5:30 news shots are over.

One last thought: might be helpful to know background -- conf center was reserved by ucomm as
a backup filing room in case wireless/cellular/power failed in the VST filing room. We are
still reserving it for that purpose.

My last reply sent accidentally before I finished. Others may overrule me, but I think this
is impractical and would stretch our team to the point that something else would suffer. The
conference center is reserved by ucomm and the sponsors -- bee, cpr, kcra -- are splitting
the hefty fee for it (we weren't able to cancel and get money back). I hope the students
don't consider it empty and available. Even if money could be found to reimburse ucomm and
the sponsors for the fee, rent a screen, hire mediaworks to set it up, pay for additional
security and any other costs, I don't see how our logistics group could pull this off less
thana week before the event. I'm all for indudingstudents and started loBBYing to have
student viewing organized back in august. It is too late to add another big event to the
quad. One not insignificant concern is that bringing hundreds of students onto the quad with
laptops might overwhelm the wireless/cellular infrastructure Communications Resources has put
in place to support the spin room and kcra. We have many other walls on campus where students
can project the webcast. Claudia

Hi Claudia,
I know you will all be busy with the GGCS3 event but I wanted to keep you in the loop about
the "Tead-Out" plans for November 16. At this point, the activity is focused on the quad.
The Student Affairs "Activism Team" will be on site and will monitor the day's events as they
unfold.
Griselda
A teach out event to bring broader awareness to our current crisis in public education has
been scheduled for November 16th at UC Davis. Concerned graduate and undergraduate students
will come together on the quad to create a different kind of classroom space - one that is
collaborative, communal, and public. TA's and AI's will be able to bring their classes to
workshops and discussions or to cover their normal course material in public and in
solidarity and unity with others. UC undergrads are facing another fee increase, and grad
students continue to work without a contract and are preparing for a potential strike! Let's
make it clear that we share this struggle; that our working conditions and our learning
conditions are the same! And that together: WE ARE THE UNIVERSITY!

Operational Excellence and its 200 layoffs, end the repression of student protesters via the widely-criticized
Office of Student Conduct, and endorse and help negotiate a fair contract for GSls and other staff in contract
negotiations. Please arrive at 6:30 AM. We will be there all morning. Rally @ 12 noon.
Nov. 17: Early AM protest at the Regents' Meeting (UCSF, Rutter Center). Let's shut it down! We need as

downtown San Francisco Embarcadero Station and then transfer to the MUNI T -Line. There are some buses
leaving from UC Berkeley. You can reserve a seat here.

It still appears the students are not interested in the G3 which is good. Hopefully the positive influence of the event and
the fact this event will showcase our campus will overpower the need to disrupt it. What can I say, I am an optimist.
Elizabeth,
yes .... the concern is about union workers getting laid off.

Dear Maril,
I conveyed the Chancellor's query about closing Mrak to Fred. At this point, we both feel strongly that locking down the
building entirely would have more costs (disruption of business for students and staff, symbolic-fortress Mrak, the
image of angry students pounding on the doors) than benefits. We have no indication at this pOint that there is any plan
among the students to do anything besides peaceful protest-Griselda is continuing to do her careful work with them
from the inside. Therefore, we propose to continue to monitor the situation at noon on the quad. If at any time we
sense that the intent of the students has changed and that there is a threat to staff who work in the building, we will
lock down (just as we did when the students marched to the freeway last year).

Dear Colleagues:
I'm hoping that we can get together virtually, by email, and see if we can come up to date without a phone meeting to
discuss the prospect of further student activity in Mrak and sort out how we will respond to it.
For now, I plan to start out with the fifth floor locked down. I am asking Carmen to assess the meeting traffic in 203 to
see if we can lock it down without too much disruption. However, if I hear from Griselda and Lora Jo that we may have a
pause in activity pending next week's meetings, I think that it may be ok to go off lockdown. Please let me know what
you think.
If we do have more student activity today-Annette, I understand that your team may be spread thin with other
Chancellor-related obligations. Should that fact change our strategy in regard to Mrak Hall secrurity. Our strategy
yesterday was not to lock down the building in advance of the student's arrival, thinking it was better from a number of
perspectives to have a noisy, but not too angry crowd inside than have an angry crowd outside-even if that meant the
possibility of having to remove students later. Is there a reason to rethink that strategy today?

Bob,
We are working with the chancellor today, but that should affect Lt. Pike and possibly one other officer. Dur staffing is
slightly thinner today, but if needed we would call for mutual aid. I think we will know more by the noon hour. Our
officers are on alert for any gatherings and will report in with that info. We are comfortable with keeping the building
open. If the fifth floor closure doesn't cause any real issues and it makes the staff feel safer, then I would suggest
keeping it locked down.

that any registration of dissent that materially interferes with the speaker's right to

silent, symbolic fashion, for example, by wearing a black arm band. More active

heckling. But any disruptive activity must stop when the chair or an appropriate

request for order is a punishable offense ... "

DRAFT Appointment letter for ART
Dear_____
Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Student Affairs Activism Response Team (ART) for 2010-2011. ART
is charged with coordinating campus response needs related to student activism, including demonstrations and
other large public actions that require campus coordination and management.
UC Davis student activism is recognized as a legitimate exercise of freedom of expression and an important
learning opportunity. The primary role of the Division of Student Affairs in responding to student activism is to
support freedom of expression, promote student safety, educate the campus on free speech policy and assist in
prevefitil1gdisIiijJtioh6fh6ril:lalcampus activitk:stfuougheducation ariaiinplementatlon oftllIle, place and
manner regulations. Student Affairs staff members communicate with students to identify issues of concern and
make campus administration aware ofthose concerns and potential activity.
The Assistant Vice Chancellor-Student Life coordinates campus response to student activism and implements
the response protocol (as applicable) in coordination with the Campus Unions Center for Student Involvement
(CSI) and the Activism Response Team. This effort will be led by Assistant Vice Chancellor Griselda Castro
and CSI Associate Director, Anne Myler who will communicate with senior leadership, as needed, for
concurrence, decision making, implementation of policy and coordination, as appropriate, with Police.
Thank you, again, for your willingness to participate in this important campus initiative. Anne Myler will be
touch with you soon with dates and times for training opportunities in September.
Sincerely, i
Fred Wood
Vice Chancellor

Hi Griselda,
This looks good and I made mostly minor changes (see below). I think we can cover possible activation of EOC in
training, so perhaps that doesn't need to be emphasized in this letter. I did add a reference to Police, however, so folks
realize we will have that support when needed.
I'm out tomorrow but will look at the calendar and be in touch with possible training dates.

Hi Anne,
Here is a quick first draft of the appointment letter for ART. Feel free to take it apart and make
suggestions. I was not sure how to incorporate the relationship to the EOC. My Jury Duty got

Subject: Student Activism Team Name
Fred,
I have been meaning to bring this up during our updates but this item has slipped off the radar list given the
length of my list lately, As you will recall, you and I decided to shorten the name of the "Student Activism
Response Team" to the ;'Student Activism Team" (SA T). The team talked about the name and didn't land
where we landed. They wanted to have a more positive descriptor. They like the name, "Freedom of
ExpressionResource Team" (FERT). The StudentActivismTeamis quick (thr~e words)J!lld includes the
word, "Student" in it, which is an important distinction from Labor Relations activity. It works well for me but
I want to be sensitive to the team's focus on "positive" language and contributions. We could consider,'
"Student Freedom of Expression Team" (SFERT) but it rather long. What are your thoughts on this? I told the
group, I would consult with you and get back to them. Thanks, Fred.

1. No to the 8% increase
4. All outside corporations at UC Davis must fund full ride scholarships for AB540 students in order to
operate on campus.
-UC Davis allows for big corporations to come onto campus and make billions of dollars off of students. AB
540 students are hurt the most during these tuition fee increases because they must fully fund their education
without financial aid and without being able to "legally" work. This demand requires for these on-campus
corporations to have to fund AB 540 scholarships as a requirement to be on-campus.
5. Financial Aid Office (Front Desk) must be open from 9-5pm, Monday- Friday, for student support
services. In addition, the phone call cap must be eliminated.
-Currently the Financial Aid Office is open from 10-2pm M-F and could only answer 200 calls per day. The
Financial Aid Office must service the students during normal university hours to ensure that finances are not an
obstacle to students' education.
6. Have University and City of Davis officials review leasing contract policies that conflict with
financial aid distribution.
-Students are expected to pay rent on September 15t regardless of their financial situation. We are asking for
administration to work with the City of Davis to create a housing contract policy that will allow students to not
have to pay rent until financial aid has been distributed.
7. Have UC Davis officials pressure the UC Regents to appoint a peer elected student representative
per campus to be a voting member ofthe UC Regents.
-Currently there is only one UC student representative for the entire UC system while the majority of the
other 18 Regent members are CEOs of major corporations which are one of the reasoning for the
privatization of the UC system. We need more student representation in a system of education where the
interests of the students are met and not the interest of the people running the UC system.

Hi Griselda,
Our pleasure. I enjoyed facilitating the discussion with the team, and was impressed with the excellent responses. I also
appreciated your assistance throughout the discussion. Thank you.
Mike
I just wanted to send a belated but very sincere thank you for the First Amendment training session you presented to
the Student Affairs Student Activism Team on Friday afternoon. The session was very informative and provided a great
staff development opportunity for our staff. The packet you prepared will be an important part of our "Freedom of
Expression Tool Kit" as we prepare for another busy year.
We are very fortunate to have you as a resource on campus. Thank you so much!
Appreciatively,

Thank you for the interesting training yesterday - I hope that I'm able to contribute positively to
student activism in the future! In that sense, I would like to let you know - if you are still looking
for an additional coordinator on the group/team, I would be interested in assisting. Just let me
know ...
Thanks again,

Subject: Activism Team Coordination
Hi Branden,
I was very pleased to receive the following message from Andrew who has generously offered to
assist in coordinating the activism team. As you know, I had just earlier invited Lisa and Chuck
to serve in this role if interested and available. I would be very pleased to work with Andrew as
well. Since Griselda is hoping to have experienced people providing oversight on the ground,
I'm hoping you can either suggest or confer with your staff on who might be most appropriate in
terms of both experience and availability. It would be ideal to have two people in addition to me
sharing this role.
It was very encouraging to meet with your folks yesterday and I'm so grateful for Student
Housing staff's willingness to serve on the team.
Best,
Anne

Hi Anne

Griselda, I haven't heard back from Branden on which of his staff will serve in the Coordinator
role. Are you okay with me following up or do you want to ask him?
Thanks,
Anne
Thanks Anne.
I'm sorry to have missed the training. Let me know ifthere was the other session you were
planning or if I should coordinate a special meeting with you.
I appreciate you including me on these e-mails and the opportunities for the staff to get more
involved. I would prefer to only volunteer one staff member from our unit and I am currently
working with the three you've been in contact with to determine which one that might be. We
are already spread a little thin in various areas over here but I do see this as a good opportunity
for them. Perhaps there are other campus units or specific people that can assist as well?

Hi Griselda,
If you can send me any changes by Friday afternoon orfirst thing Monday, I can review and get final docs to Stacy for
copying. She will attach the modified team contact list without cell numbers and I will bring the Freedom of Expression
brochures. Call me if you have questions.
Somehow I think we should keep the name, "Student Activism Protocol," even though we are changing the name of the
support team. It seems less confusing. What do you think?
Let me know if we need anything else for Monday. I invited Don Dudley to come both Monday and in September, but it
doesn't look as if he will be able to come.
