Our faculty are truly saddened at the loss of Local 1600 President Emeritus, Norm Swenson. Norm was instrumental in organizing our chapter in the early 1970s. He led our first strike as our founding faculty fought for our first contract. He went to jail for defying court injunctions against striking faculty.
He was a leader, a visionary, and a friend.
