Parking Update and Organizing Meeting noon tomorrow

11/6/2018

Dear Colleague,

Bargaining with the administration over parking has come to an impasse, and we have now entered non-binding mediation (see the update here).  The UMB administration has refused to budge on key aspects of their parking plan, which still includes plans to impose a $15 per day parking rate on our public commuter campus for on campus parking (West Garage, Lot D, Campus Centre garage), as well as the elimination of multi-use passes.

The Role of Public Higher Education and UMass Boston

Edited remarks by Marlene Kim from an address given at UMB on October 4, 2018

Public higher education serves the public good: it benefits more than just the college graduate.  Because it helps the larger community, we should subsidize higher education more than we do so today.

Your raises are finally coming and other news from the FSU

10/15/2018

Dear Colleague,
