Hey, Tonight Western Washington University's Associated Students Board of Directors passed a resolution calling for an end to the sanctions against Iraq. While the resolution passed does not have the "teeth" we originally wanted it to have, (i.e. calling on the campus community to educate itself and become more active in the grassroots campaign against the sanctions) there is room for us to come back to the AS Board next year to sharpen the resolution. If I am not mistaken, WWU is now the 13th college in the country and the first on the West Coast to pass such a resolution at the level of the student government. I suspect that our group, LIFE (Liberate Iraq From Economic sanctions) will sit on this resolution until next school year since this was passed so late in this school year. However next year we would like to take this to our Faculty Senate, the University President, and the Board of Trustees for endorsements.
