[Athen] CSUN Picketing

[Pratik Patel]

Besides, having people with disabilities wade through pickets will not be
the most ideal situation.  They may be trying to be certain that everything
takes place inside.  But, we still have to get from one place to another.

I would not make any bets on next year, what they are planning has not been
vetted with any of the concerned parties.  The new management at CSUN seem
to have issues with getting and accepting input from anyone.

Just got off the phone with CSUN at Northridge.  Everything will be
Hilton and the Marriott inside.  More information will be handed out at
the registration booths when signing in.  No tents this year, but will
have Vendors and such in the parking lot at the Marriott NEXT year.
Wants to be more centralized and will not use the Hilton for Vendors.
Unknown at this time about breakouts.

Well it seems that us vendor types only found out today!  Wonder if the
CSU
faculty are going to cross the pickets.
