"It has not disturbed our fundamental outlook," he says. "[Our strategy is that] we should really be working closely with local government on a broad range of issues."
Grogan says Braude's ultimatum on a living wage does not advance the relationship that the University and council have developed.
"We think it's unwarranted based on how important we are to each other," he says.
But Grogan says he respects the council's attempts to influence University policy through less belligerent means.
He says resolutions, meetings and rallies are "fair game" for the council.
"Public pressure and advocacy, demonstrations, whatever--no one's upset about it," he says. "It's just that one dimension."
But Grogan emphasized that the council should not expect to influence internal University policy.
