“UCI’s School of Humanities Is Kicking Its Dedicated Critical AI Researcher to the Curb” Citric Acid, 2025

Two pages of a printed document affixed with blue painter's tape to a glass window.

Our colleagues at Citric Acid have published a version of the speech which UCI Lecturer and Academic Researcher Prof. Ricky D. Crano shared with a group of 75 supporters at a recent campus rally on his behalf. Members of the UAW and UC-AFT attempted to deliver a petition to Humanities Dean Tyrus Miller asking for Crano’s full reinstatement, signed by over 300 colleagues, staff, and students. As pictured here, the dean was out, so activists taped it to his office window.
