At about 3:00 pm on Monday June 11, 2007, about 30 DePaul students who wanted tenure for DePaul professors Finkelstein and Larudee, met with President of DePaul, Fr. Holtschneider. Students had been sitting-in the conference room in the president’s office since 8:30 am that morning. DePaul public safety had been alerted to the student’s plans and was waiting for the students. No threats of arrest or retaliation have been made, in fact the school brought us snacks and drinks.
Holtschneider expressed how proud he was that as involved students we were willing to meet with him and push forward with our views. After introductions, the students presented Holtschneider with a list of petitions, including close to 800 signatures supporting tenure for Finkelstein. After that we began with our criticisms of the tenure process and questions for Holtschneider.
