How To Case, FUD concepts and living document

How are the Happening Here?

    Expect both
  1. confusion, and a
  2. hyper-experience.

Confusion

Expect confusion because UPMC and the Univ. of Pittsburgh are two of the major parties involved. These folks like to operate within a smoke-screen of their own creation so as to side-step accountability and community interaction.

    Pitt officials have:
  1. "silenced the band."
  2. Slithered in the shaddows of Plan B with secret dealings that impact donor and taxpayer funding.
  3. Kicked out student representates from Board of Trustees meetings. Pitt is locking the doors and turning back the clock on decades of witnessing and interaction.
  4. Forced students to disrobe. That's right, two students, in full view of the University President and Athletic Director, were given police escorts away from their seats at the Fieldhouse and had to take off their shirts, hence confiscation of free speech.
Pitt wants confusion and secrecy. Pitt wants to do what Pitt wants to do. And Pitt makes for a spitefull foe who does not hesitate to flex its muscles in all the wrong places.

Hence, the position paper your about to examine has been crafted by the gathering and integration of a number of chunks of information that has been troublesome to gather. Pitt won't share its plans to any extent, and we've asked.

The Hyper Experience

As things are discovered and made accessible, they are to be shared here for all to see and comment upon. This position paper is a give-and-take process, a living document. We want to connect the dots for the first-time readers and visitors, but we are moving from an unknown to another unknown destination. Things are fluid.

Help us by passing along your questions.
