There is also no new information on Instagram.

> Should the SA Senate now accept the ad hoc committee's formal recommendation regarding selling or otherwise disposing of Dippikill, SA will be in violation of the Open Meetings Law, shall have failed to afford me as a Dippikill stakeholder due process as required by the State Administrative Procedure Act and the 14th Amendment, and SA's actions may be subject to judicial review.

> Please stand down on taking action under the provisions of your bylaws dealing with the sale of Dippikill at this time to avoid Federal Civil Rights litigation and/or an Article 78 Proceeding in state court.
