11/12/18: Class 68: Regroup, Strategic Plan & Open Sharing/Projector

Hi All 🎭,

A quick reminder that we'll meet at 2pm in room 901!

Walid is out of town and will be returning to class next week, while we had planned for some people to continue presenting it might make sense if we wait until next week for longer presentations. If you'd still like to share even briefly this week, particularly if you're working on something time sensitive or that would benefit from help from class we will certainly have time.

As many of you might be aware there's been more language, development, and documents regarding the HSS protests and now tying everything into to the Strategic Plan (and Diversity Task Force), which will be presented at the upcoming December board meeting. We'd like to use part of class to hear from anyone that was able to attend one of these sessions, as well as share the only public version we're aware of, and review a bit of the recorded stream to the Cooper Union Alumni Association (CUAA).

We'll leave time to discuss all of this in relation to any presentations or class conversations, the assigned class reading of Howard Singerman's Art Subjects, as well as our proposal to shadow the upcoming Faculty Search. Below I've trying to pull some what's come out in the last week or so, if you know or have access to something I've missed please feel free to send it along!

See you all soon!
