Oberlin protests in hopes of saving staff member's job lost to budget cuts Bruce Walton - Bruce Walton, The Chronicle-Telegram

Dozens of Oberlin College students, staff and alumni walked Monday from the student union to President Carmen Twillie Ambar’s office in hopes of saving the job of a staff member that was lost to budget cuts. The Committee to Reinstate Tom Reid, led by 2014 graduate Johnnie Kallas, submitted a petition of about 1,100 signatures from community members, former and current students as well as others seeking Reid’s reinstatement. Students Jody Shanabrook, a sophomore, Millie Frankel, a junior, and James Peake, a 2006 alumnus, also gave testimonials of Reid’s impact in their lives. http://www.chroniclet.com/Local-News/2018/11/06/Oberlin-protests-in-hopes-of-saving-staff-member-39-s-job-lost-to-budget-cuts.html
