Hello,

Tuesday, September 9thwill be recognized as a National Day of Silence 
for the reinstatement of Dr. Steven Salaita to his faculty position with 
the American Indian Studies Department at the University of Illinois at 
Urbana-Champaign. On this day, all students are encouraged to stand up 
and walk outof their classes at 11:30amand gather on the Main Quad until 
1pm.

Throughout the day, we call for all students at the University of 
Illinois to join supporters across the nation in silent protest of this 
attack on academic freedom and free speech. We ask for those choosing to 
participate to cover their mouths with a sideways Illini ",” which will 
be provided on on the Quad during the demonstration. We further 
encourage all participants to take pictures throughout the day and share 
them across their social media networks.

Rise up. Walk out. Rally on Quad.
