The home of the University’s President on East Franklin Street was the site of a October 12, 1997 protest by the Coalition for Economic Justice, in support of the housekeepers movement. The Coalition littered the front steps of the then President’s home, Molly Broad, with signs of support. The housekeepers who had, the previous year, won an enormous settlement from the University, had not yet received all of the items promised to them in the settlement.
