HBC Corner

Reminder to those who are going away for the weekend to ensure heating is off, electronics unplugged and your dorm is locked.

Dr. Erin Battat, senior lecturer in the Writing Program, and Dr. Christa Skow, Senior Instructor in the Biological Sciences Laboratory, presented information on the Wellesley Organized Academic Workers (WOAW-UAW) unionization committee. The committee described ways in which the college’s interference with their unionization affects the student body, most notably in the credibility of student reference letters, workload interference with faculty office hours and potential interference with the discrimination and harassment protocol. More information can be found on their Instagram and their website (wellesleyorganizedacademicworkers.org).
