Huston-Tillotson University

I believe I pronounced that right.

Um, Houston-Tillotson University in Austin, and it is in the, it's an HBCU in an historically Black neighborhood as well But there are some people who have moved into the neighborhood who are not Black, and they have some strong feelings, these new residents, about students parking on the street.

Everyone who's parking is parking legally, and that is why this has turned into a big thing now, because one particular neighbor has been walking around leaving notes on people's cars saying, "You can't park on this street."

But it's legal to park there.

Bree Nunn, a student activist, posted this on social media.

"This couple has been harassing the Black stu- the professors at Houston-Tillotson University.

They bought a home directly across the street from an HBCU with legal street parking.

They have been terrorizing the students, writing notes and putting it on their cars, and even blocked a Black professor's car in with their trash can and recycling bin to prevent him from moving.

She's definitely from Austin.

And then, uh, Houston Tillotson University, their jazz, uh, band is gonna be there as well, and they've been there I feel like...

I know they were there for the last two years, I believe.

So-

I'm pleased to welcome Joseph Blasey, who's the Director Emeritus of the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing at the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University.

Chris Himes is the former CEO of Indeed and now a visiting lecturer at Houston Tillotson University and recently a founding board member of the Guardrails Alliance.

And Erica Smiley is the executive director of Jobs with Justice.

And it's also my pleasure to turn it over to our moderator, Marshall Kozlov.

Tell us about this course.

so I left in June of last year and started right away teaching at Houston Tillotson University.

It's a small private HBCU in Austin.

I've been on the board for the last four years.
