LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

We have more than 80 million anti- government people, who want to destroy the United States, hate democracy and embrace extreme Fascisim. I am not worried about a professor in Minnesota who wants equality.
Then how do you interpret this statement?:
"And so, it's our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonization this place," she added. "Because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the U.S. is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed. So we want U.S. out of everywhere ... and the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States."

And Puerto Rico, Guam, and a few other places are currently territories I doubt this is a reference to that however.
We also fought Japan to resist their colonization and oppression and release their colonies in the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere from bondage, and to the extent that Cuba was a Soviet colony we resisted that. We freed the Warsaw pact countries which were in some ways, Soviet colonies and puppet states, and so on, and Germany was reunified in October 1990.
And of course, Hitler's Reich was an effort to subjugate populations throughout Europe and create Lebensraum to resettle Germans, killing or enslaving natives, and appropriating resources -- in effect, a case of colonialism, which the US put an end to.
So it must be, she is talking more about rights for native americans, giving them more autonomy and respect, diversity initiatives and so on, and perhaps more land returned to them, along with money from natural resources, so they can have better lives.

I'm not sure those statements reach these very narrow criteria, the statements might be reprehensible however, I am not sure what it even represents, or what she envisions as part of her agenda. It doesn't seem specific, there are no actions attached, and she has no real followers. This also isn't a focus of her beliefs at all, she is an advocate (or claims to be) for native americans and not some foreign government.
I'd admit you would get a better education by avoiding such teachings, maybe watch the History Channel, or find professors with a less ideological focus, someone better grounded in reality might also be better suited to advance the interest of the native americans I would expect. These kind of "radical ideas" and emotional appeals could be co-opted by people who wish to avoid addressing real problems after all, various elites or special interest groups who wish to exploit various issues to benefit themselves.
That is, while she seems to be an anti-establishment figure she is probably not, she became a professor for a reason despite her lack of evident qualifications, as she serves the establishment.

Of course, native americans are US citizens, and also because of their special history and status, should deserve good treatment. Why is that controversial?
