ass-early thursday morning tangentially-related strike update.

And on the aforementioned tenth anniversary of the Yale grade strike, we learn that anarchist anthropologist David Graeber is leaving Yale, dropping his appeal in exchange for a one-year sabbatical, presumably because he saw no possibillity of saving his job or was uninterested in dealing with the collapsing Yale anthropology department any longer than he already has. At some point, perhaps Yale faculty will be able to articulate some kind of understanding of what their function is in the university which doesn't include union busting and character assassination. Until then, the legacy of the grade strike looms large.
