James Boyle speaks with Tate Potts and Olivia Wischmeyer of Rutgers USAS (United Students Against Sweatshops) and End Assault at Rutgers. Potts and Wischmeyer discussed the work that USAS is doing on-campus, including their work around the Fight for $15 Movement. In addition, they addressed the backlash the organization has faced from administration, and the impact that this kind of response has had on the larger activism and social justice community at Rutgers. Potts and Wischmeyer also described the origins of End Assault at Rutgers, as well as the demands the coalition is making to fire Nabil Adam, an alleged rapist and administrator in the Rutgers Business School. End Assault is working to remove all harassers, rapists, and people complicit in the university, and institute systemic and structural changes that protect people and empower survivors.
