I am aware of the good work you have done in the past invoking human networks 
and dialogue, so, be sure that I view this as only an opportunity to raise what 
imho is becoming an ever more exclusive issue. We are in a situation that 
demands other models and other behaviors towards the institutions that impose 
this form of poverty through indentured servitude...

One of those models is simple human encounter, (David Bohm's dialogue) 
encumbered by as little institutional weight/baggage as possible. It would seem 
that at the level of institutionalization of relation that is happening 
generally in tertiary ed (and elsewhere) is precluding our best options...

so it goes.
