Inside Higher Ed: A Campaign for Antiwar Academics
As a student years ago, Joseph Nevins always considered himself politically active. He had his range of causes — East Timor stabilization, teaching assistant unionization, immigrant rights — and can still remember the rallies, marches and meetings.
Now, as a fourth-year assistant professor at Vassar College, Nevins is again involved in a political action, this one a campaign to get faculty across the country to donate money each month to a large antiwar group until the Iraq War ends. He and a Vassar colleague, Katherine Hite, co-signed a letter sent out last month that asked faculty at the college to support United for Peace and Justice, the antiwar coalition that coordinates local and national events.
