Scheduled to participate are state Sen. Chris Rothfuss, the Senate’s minority floor leader; state Rep. Cathy Connolly, a UW professor of gender and women’s studies; Chris Boswell, UW’s vice president for governmental and community affairs; and economist Anne Alexander, UW’s associate vice president for academic affairs.
