UO student union succeeds where GC Kevin Reed failed: shutting down the faculty club.

UO General Counsel Kevin Reed in 2019:

… Indeed, the Faculty Club has earned a reputation on campus as being an exclusionary group, dominated by white men.  Exactly the sort of “good ole boys club” I think the Senate would want to distance itself from. …

This was received with well deserved ridicule – see the comments here, e.g.:

John Harvard04/04/2019

Wait, could this possibly be the SAME Kevin Reed whose SUV (parked in a privileged spot at the heart of campus) is ostentatiously plastered with “old-boy” Harvard and UVA stickers?
I wonder if poor Kevin actually objects to clubs, or if he’s just ticked off that there’s a club to which his extraordinary privilege doesn’t gain him entry?
Sour grapes anyone?

But now UO’s Student Workers have shut it down – not because they think pretending to be woke will help them, but simply because they want more money:

Dear UO faculty,
The UO Faculty Club meetings tomorrow, May 1, and on May 8 have been canceled due to a lack of catering availability on campus.
Reminder: A new Faculty Club Listserv has been launched to provide faculty members more regular information about upcoming meetings and cancelations, as well as our programming and meeting themes.
If you are interested in being added to the listserv, please email: [email protected] 
Sincerely,
UO Faculty Club Organizing Group
