Today carried this blog’s namesake closer to the brink, when San Diego superior court judge Katherine Bacal ruled in favor of UCSD in its efforts to evict the Che Cafe.
While the collective argued it believed it was protected from decertification before losing its co-op status in a vote by the Graduate Student Association, Bacal was unconvinced.
According to NBC, “she said the Che had the burden of proving that it sought dispute resolution, but there was no evidence that it had tried to obtain it, so the university was allowed to move forward with the eviction proceedings without dispute resolution.”
I’m no legal expert, and the twists and turns of this case escape me. What recourse does the cafĂ© have at this late stage?

Che was there longest of all.
A better metaphor for the collision in the mid ’80’s that we’d orchestrated at the late Che Cafe?
