IT'S OFFICIAL! Today, the Oakland City Council voted unanimously in favor of a resolution calling for an investigation of the Mills acquisition. Please join us in thanking @ShengForOakland and Vice Mayor @Kaplan4Oakland for this major step toward justice and truth.
Thank you for my colleagues for voting to approve a resolution calling for an investigation into the closure of Mills College. Students & staff deserve transparency around this sudden sale & closure of one of the two remaining women's colleges in CA.1/

This is our chipmunk cousin, Doris, who hails from @mtholyoke! We love our @mywomenscollege extended family! We're stretching to get ready for the investigation of the Mills acquisition. We still have work to do and we're just getting started.
In 2021, 70% of Mills College faculty voted "no confidence" in its president, board of trustees, and administration. They called for a total restructuring. 16 months later, Mills' $multi BILLION$ in assets and was "sold" to Northeastern for a $35 application fee to the @massago.

Bonta, who publicly claimed that he it was likely he'd recuse from the deal, did not recuse. Instead, he signed a letter stating that he had "no objections" to Northeastern acquiring Mills (for $0). Bonta's 1-page letter contained Northeastern's carefully crafted PR points.
Mills College squirrels are the most special. There are about 26,000 Mills squirrels in our network.
FUN SQUIRREL FACT: According to Euclid Library, a group of squirrels is called a "scurry" or a "dray."

Thank you Sheng Thao for bringing truth and justice to the Mills community. We need more elected officials like you. There is nothing the Mills community can’t do when we put our minds to it. We are so proud to support one of our own as Oakland’s next mayor.
