From demands to a college program

The history lists development, health and communications in Fall 1970. It also shows changed governance. The proposed board included the provost, three students and two faculty, with authority over the provost. The later board had three students and three faculty who advised the provost. (pp.3–4) [5]

Assessment (moderate confidence): The comparison suggests partial change. It relies on a retrospective; original proposals and decisions are still needed. (pp.3–4) [5]

A documented student route

Davis 's later writing gives a clearer account of one person's use of Marcuse . She credited him with showing how study and activism could go together, then adapted his ideas about language and future possibilities to prison abolition. That individual route is documented in her own words. (pp.xi–xiv) [3] (“Politics and Prisons”) [6]
