FSU LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group's Five and a Slide

10/5/2022

Dear FSU Colleagues,

The Queer Trans Trivia Bee was so fun that we want to keep the good times rolling!

We are hosting an on-campus 5 and a Slide event that you are all invited to attend and engage. This is part of a more deliberate effort to bring lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex scholars, and their co-conspirators together in caring community.

Here's how it works:

FSU Nuts & Bolts: Parking Bargaining has begun!

10/3/2022

Dear Member,

This issue of Nuts & Bolts contains information on parking bargaining and to share our proposal. 

Who is bargaining? 

The FSU is in coalition with the Classified Staff Union (CSU), Department Chairs’ Union (DCU), and Professional Staff Union (PSU).  The presidents of each union are at the table for their respective union.  

Why bargaining? 

The Point: “Another Self-Inflicted Embarrassment”

10/3/2022

Greetings, Colleagues:

Crisis point? Tipping point? Inflection point?  Call it what you want, but it is really time for all faculty and librarians at UMB and concerned members of the wider community to take notice of what great harm our administration is doing to our colleagues in Africana Studies and, by extension, what great harm they are doing to our students.  Given the horribly disruptive construction projects we have all been living with in the recent past it is tempting to say that management on campus is gutting the department “down to the studs.”
