Re: [Discuss] [Instructors] workshop at Monsanto in St Louis in April

[Ethan White]

1. I agree with Greg and others that, in general, choosing not to 
participate in workshops at certain locations due to ethical concerns 
should primarily be the choice of individual instructors regarding 
whether they want to teach or not, not a broader SCF decision on whether 
to run the workshops at all.
2. I like the idea of a split fee structure for for-profit vs. 
non-profit groups. I understand Greg's point about rich vs. poor, but 
that's more difficult to handle (e.g., what are we measuring to 
represent wealth, what's the dividing line, should it be a sliding 
scale, etc.). My general feeling is that any extra funds from 
for-profits (or rich) institutions should go to SCF rather than the 
instructors, at least until SCF is on a very firm financial footing.
