The Last Dance

Within two weeks of the Racism, Power and Privilege at UIUC forum, the Chair of the Board of Trustees for the University of Illinois - Lawrence Eppley, announced the mascot's last dance will be Wednesday, February 21, 2007. While this falls within the timeline given by Students Transforming Oppression and Privilege (STOP) for an administrative response to their demands, STOP coalition members question the extent to which the mascot iconography will cease to be commodified and displayed at UIUC and the CU community. Is cancelling the dance enough to lessen the hostile and abusive campus environment?

Please listen and watch the following interviews (provided by WEFT's Radio Liberacion) with Chairman Eppley - conducted on February 16, 2007.
