>>Dear friends,
>>
>>As many of you know, the University of Illinois Board of Trustees was
>>scheduled to meet on Thursday, April 15th in Chicago. However, the
>>BOT cancelled their meeting to avoid a resolution placed on their
>>agenda by the student trustee to eliminate "Chief Illiniwek."
>>
>>The Board is also currently trying to change their meeting rules so
>>as to  forbid a single trustee from placing an issue on the agenda
>>for discussion without the support of other trustees, further eroding
>>the potential power of the student trustee.
>>
>>These most recent moves by the Board are even more outrageous and
>>undemocratic than their past actions. This reckless abuse of power
>>and subversion of democracy at UIUC by the Board of Trustees has to
>>be put to a stop and we need your help to do that!
>>
>>Join us for a rally on Thursday, April 15th (the day the Board was
>>supposed to have met) at 12 noon to demand the elimination of "Chief
>>Illinwek" and a return of democracy and unity to the UIUC campus.
>>
>>Please forward this email to everyone you know! For more information,
>>please contact the PRC at (217) 352-8721 or at prc at prairienet.org.
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>The PRC
