On Subversity this evening from 5-6 p.m. on KUCI, 88.9 fm in Orange County, Calif. (Web-cast via kuci.org), we chat with Jonnie Hargis, a library assistant and geographic information system specialist at UCLA's research library.
Hargis was suspended without pay from September 17-21 after library administrators decided his e-mail violated library policy (made public after he was suspended). The Daily Bruin today editorially called for library adminstrators to apologize and give him the back pay. Hargis is represented by CUE, the clerical workers' union in the UC system.
To chat with Hargis, call 949 824-5824 during the show.
