Are you worried about saying “the wrong thing” in the classroom? Concerned that your academic freedom may not be guaranteed when it comes to your research findings or social media presence? Why does there seem to be a sudden flurry of high-profile incidents of faculty being singled out and targeted for improper or incendiary speech, whether in the classroom, their research, or their Twitter remarks?

Dear FSU Members,

The Faculty-Staff Union expresses our grief and anger in response to the recent mass shooting in Atlanta and wishes to express solidarity with all Asian Americans and Asians who have experienced racial and gendered violence.  We understand the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of anti-Asian violence, and recognize how foundational violence towards, and exclusion of, Asian Americans and Asians is in the history of white supremacy in the United States.
