I got the idea for this when talking to folks in the midwest who've just never been to NY. It makes sense, the Big City Trip for schools and families here is Chicago. And I happen to know NY and these institutions well from my work. So - let's go! Open to anyone 18+. No need to have a UW connection.

An important factor here is administrative bloat that creates a whole tranche of staff who need to justify their jobs by creating rafts of busywork for faculty that we (rightly) resent, and exacerbates their sense that we are a bunch of obstreperous heel-draggers
