We encourage and support faculty, alumni, donor, and staff voices!
Contact us!: We are interested in the ways that students, staff, and faculty, alumni, and community members can work together and support each other. If you are interested in meeting with a student or have suggestions, please contact nolimitsgrinnell [at] gmail [dot] com, and a student will get back to you!
NLP students would love to give your department or group a No Limits Info Session. We will bring to you a 15-30 min presenation about the history and work of No Limits and open it up to questions and dialogue. These have been very successful with students and staff this spring.
Alumni and donors: If you’d like to make a pledge to donate some amount of money to the College once our demands are met, please leave a post on the Alumni Giving page.
Facult and Staff: The No Limits Project rejects the ways in which the administration has tried to divide students, faculty, and staff and prevent them from working together on issues that affect the entire Grinnell Community. The NLP supports the faculty/ staff struggle to make staff hiring and firing policies at this college more transparent and just.
Everyone: This website is a living history of social justice struggles at this college. If you have relevant information (new or old) or corrections for the website, please contact us.
Additionally, we stand in solidarity with other student mobilizations across the nation.
On April 23rd, 2009, 55 students at the University of Vermont occupied administrative offices in protest of substantial budget cuts and termination of 107 faculty and staff in the face of exorbitant administrator salaries, totaling among 40 top administrators $7 million dollars plus $1 million in bonuses. 200 to 300 additional protesters gathered outside the offices in support of the occupation; they included a group of visiting French shepherds, who sang a song in solidarity with the students. Grievances cited included the fact that a 5% pay cut on the part of the 40 top administrators would have saved enough money to pay all 27 lecturers who were dismissed from the school of Arts and Sciences.
