A manuscript page from an original score by Philip Glass, a Gary Indiana photograph of William S. Burroughs, an original framed photograph by actor Joel Grey, signed copies of all Eric Bogosian’s published works and a signed box set of Lapham’s Quarterly are among the items being offered in an online auction for N.Y.U. Faculty Against the Sexton Plan, the group fighting New York University’s South Village superblocks expansion plan.
The “holiday fundraiser,” on Indiegogo, started last Friday and runs through Jan. 11. Supporters will base their premium choices on a range of photos and descriptions of each item. Arrangements will be made individually for shipment or pick up of each item. Everyone who contributes during the fundraiser will also receive a “Save the Village” button.

On Oct. 4, a legal ruling that would have saved three open-space strips of parkland from being destroyed by N.Y.U.’s nearly 2 million-square-foot development plan was overturned by the Appellate Division’s First Department. N.Y.U. FASP and fellow other plaintiff groups recently filed a motion with the New York Court of Appeals — the state’s highest court — urging it to review the case and overturn the First Department’s ruling.
