On this episode of Stateside, we covered the calls for resignation of the chairperson of Michigan State University's board of trustees, Rema Vassar, as well as other controversies around the university. Next, the Voices From the Grassroots Oral History Project is launching today. We spoke with two individuals about their involvement in the project, and why telling these stories is so important. Then, we discussed the details of the tentative agreement between Ford and the UAW, and what it could mean for the auto industry.
