The other day, we reported that the UC administration appears to be feeling some heat on the legal front for the many reprehensible procedural violations it has committed in the course of subjecting student protesters to conduct hearings. But another target is feeling a more direct form of pressure. As
thosewhouseit notes with regard to the
second half of the conduct case for one of the Wheeler Hall occupiers:
In fact, the math professor chairing the commission was served with papers at the hearing tonight. Our comrade is suing him in small claims court. From now on we will take anyone who participates in this charade to court!
At the very beginning of the hearing, as the panel members were filing in, the chair Paul Vojta was served with court papers. According to the
Campus Rights Project, Vojta had also chaired the panel of the previous hearing. Apparently, a
suit has been filed in small claims court against him. In other words, the university itself is not liable, but it could be an effective tactic in terms of pushing back against those members of the university community who are complicit with the administration's repressive apparatus.
For further reading, check out Vojta's ratings on
