So, I spent the day at the crisis center answering questions about what was going on.  The most common question was whether we had additional t-shirts or buttons to support the cause.  CMU's faculty association has been ordered back to work by a local judge.  Here's the ex parte order: http://cmich.edu/documents/faculty/temp_restraining_order.pdf

It says that the university will suffer irreparable injury without it and it prohibits us from doing anything that is not the full, faithful and proper performance of our job duties.  The order says we cannot mass picket.  The word on the street is that students are planning protests for tomorrow.  

The hearing on the temporary restraining order is on Friday.  

Here's a news report on the situation.
