Here's a Rush Hour Resistance update from Evo!
Greetings, resisters! You'll note this email is a day late. No real excuse other than me trying to be as unproductive as possible yesterday. So... mission accomplished, I guess?
We're fully geared up for more activity this week. It's staying darker longer and is getting darker eariler (pesky axial tilt), but the rush hour commutes don't shift all that much. I'll be packing a headlamp for this afternoon. Flashlights and other sources of non-flammable illumination (though I really want to carry a burning torch) may be in order.
And as a reminder: Feel free to drop by an event even if you can't stay the whole time. We've had folks come out for 5–10 minutes. That works for us!

You can also directly call the university using the ASU Hotline at 1-877-SUN-DEVL (1-877-786-3385) to file a complaint about the university, as stated on the Arizona State University website. This is a 24-hour service for reporting concerns about anything from a breach of conduct to crimes.
