On Strike at NYU
<http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/index.php?/weblog/on_strike_at_nyu/>

"[NYU]'s administration, and particularly NYU President John Sexton,
however, have retaliated against the [striking] grad students in a
series of heavy-handed ways, including infiltrating the campus's
Blackboard installation in order to find out which faculty members
were supporting the strike.  Now Sexton has sent the students an
ultimatum:  any students who remain on strike as of Monday will be
denied next semester's assistantship, and any who return to strike
next semester will be deprived of a full year's funding."

"The strikers, members of United Auto Workers Local 2110 (the same
union that represents Voice employees), walked out after Sexton broke
off bargaining for a new contract this summer, saying the university
intended to take advantage of a new Bush administration decision that
graduate student employees are not covered by federal labor laws. (See
Voice, "The Nerds are Pissed," November 15)."
