That this guy was invited to speak at the great university says something, not good. Emails should be sent to Phyllis Wise, Office of the Chancellor, to protest his invitation.

<span>Dear Occupy CU and GEO,<br>
<br>
UIUC Chancellor's final lecture of the year April 2 for "The Research University in the World of the Future" series will feature Norman Augustine, the retired CEO of military weapons maker Lockheed-Martin.
<br>
<br>
He will "discuss the idea that universities have to reconfigure themselves to meet the challenges of the 21st century."
<br>
<br>
As the announcement below states, Augustine believes </span><span><span><span><span>"universities have to become more introspective and aware that their ultimate mission is to serve the public good." I have a feeling many of us have a very different definition
?of "public good" than he does.<br>
<br>
</span></span></span>So many young people have been recruited into the milita<span>ry by the poverty/lack of purpose draft. The Army has a very visible presence in signage throughout the ARC. And the disaster capitalist defunding of the public sphere (while
military spending has continued to soar) has only made easier corporations' co-opting of the ideologies and values of higher education.
<br>
<br>
I, for one, am not interested in sitting politely quiet as someone responsible for public funds siphoning, let alone military surveillance, warfare, and countless authorized and unauthorized drone attacks killing civilians around the world, tells me how to
envision the future of universities I attend and might work for.</span></span><br>
<br>
Anyone interested in organizing around this? <br>
<br>
Hoping so.<br>
<br>
Aimee<br>

<div style="min-height:360px;line-height:18px">Dear Colleagues:<br>
<br>
I am delighted to share with you that Norman Augustine, acclaimed engineer and retired CEO of Lockheed Martin, will be the featured speaker of the sixth installment of our speaker series, "The Research University in the World of the Future." Mr. Augustine's
lecture will be held April 2 at 4:00 p.m. in the Beckman Institute Auditorium, 405 North Matthews Avenue.<br>
<br>
Mr. Augustine will discuss the idea that universities have to reconfigure themselves to meet the challenges of the 21st century. He believes universities have to become more introspective and aware that their ultimate mission is to serve the public good. "Education
investment goes hand in hand with having a strong economy and universities are the key to making the nation more competitive."<br>
<br>
"The Research University in the World of the Future" series is designed to give the campus community a multifaceted look at how higher education is adjusting to address society's changing needs. As we envision our campus 20 to 50 years into the future, we are
exploring how to best position the university for continued relevance and impact.<br>
<br>
Again, Mr. Augustine will deliver his public message at 4:00 p.m. in the Beckman Institute Auditorium, 405 North Mathews Avenue, Urbana.<br>
<br>
I hope you will join us.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Phyllis M. Wise<br>
Chancellor </div>
