Crossover from GS: President Rochon Meeting, Divestment Research - Advisor Search (15 min)
Steering Committee will provide an update on the current situation with our advisor, and lead a discussion on what attributes members would like to see in the next advisor.
Elijah: Also recommended Dr. Dia. Concurs that she has a decent understanding of socialism, isn’t rabidly anti-communist.
Jack: reach out to the libertarian Marxist? Want someone who is a lot more involved.
Bella: Someone who follows through with commitments, organized, prepared, aligned with our beliefs (particularly with anti-Zionism).
Chris: Look for the History and Philosophy departments. Several pro-Palestinian professors there. Could have a class on socialism, and is welcoming. Recommending Dr. Dia, teaches history of fascism and Spanish Civil War; is on tenure track- should at least reach out.
Jose: Has dealt with a lot of advisors. Look for someone who is tenured, more leeway in what they get involved in (harder to fire). - Event Proposals (25 min)
