Yep. Great idea. I bet other AWARE people would be interested as
well. Let's make signs and noise about the Public Good!<br>

<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>

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>
