As I write this, we are rapidly approaching the 5000 signature mark on this petition! Chancellor Wise (217) 333-8819 [pmischo@illinois.edu] and Robert Warrior, chair of the Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been automatically notified of the petition through change.org and get periodic updates. This amazing show of support is a testimony to Professor Salaita's integrity and good reputation and your passionate activism. Many organizations, including the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (USACBI) have also mobilized in support of academic freedom and freedom of speech. I'll keep you posted and many thanks for taking action.
