Just Heard
Nixed at UW
Plans by University of Washington students to deliver a detailed criticism of the Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness to Mayor Greg Nickels were canceled last month within hours of their hatching. The group of students, who had been volunteering at a shelter as part of a service-learning class, sent out a press release Oct. 28 saying the plan “isn’t worth a nickel,” and announced that it would bear “personal letters to the Mayor of Seattle challenging his policies.”
Less than three hours later, class leader Kate Boyd issued a second press release stating only that she was “instructed” to stop the effort. Students, she noted, are free to tell the mayor what they think — but not under the auspices of their university class.
