I was on campus today and attended the USAS sponsored funeral procession for worker rights. Here are some photos I took.

Around a dozen protesters met in front of the library today (March 31st) and marched around the campus singing songs like "Swing Low Sweet Chariot", and "Gloria Gloria Halleluja" to mark the death of worker rights at the hands of the University President Renu Khator.
Khator has called for an apparel task force to look into the issue, but the task force has no labor experts or students. The University has also asked the Texas Attorney General for an opinion on whether they can withhold information from UHSAS in response to their public information request asking for documents related to the “apparel task force,”
