Dear Members,

Last Friday you received an email from Marie Bowen, Vice Chancellor of Human Resources, confirming when we will receive our January 2026 pay raise.

This is great news but some of that raise may be taken away by changes in our health insurance plans.

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

We need your support to stop the weakening of higher education, including diminishing the value of libraries and librarians. 

The December 8th Nuts & Bolts provided information on two proposals that will weaken Massachusetts’ public higher education by reducing accreditation standards and the number of credits required for a bachelor’s degree.
