Dear FSU Members,

Please consider signing the solidarity statement below, written by Higher Ed Labor United in support of (and written in consultation with) Howard University NTT faculty, who are planning to strike this Wednesday. They need our support!

In past years, many UMB staff, faculty and students have enjoyed visiting the State House on the annual Spring Advocacy Day organized by PHENOM (Public Higher Ed Network of Massachusetts). PHENOM needs our help this year to move a critical piece of legislation reported out of committee by April 4^th. S829/H1339, An Act to Guarantee Debt-Free Public Higher Education,” would guarantee every Massachusetts resident has a right to a public higher education free of tuition, fees, and student debt and covers all MA public higher ed institutions, including UMB.

Dear fellow FSU members,

Greetings, Colleagues:

I am honored to share with you a very important message that was recently sent to the chancellor and the provost.  The letter below was written and signed by the Department Chairs Union, the Faculty Council Executive Committee, and the FSU.  As you will see it is a simple—though shocking—statement of facts with respect to contract negotiations currently taking place between the Graduate Employee Organization (GEO) and management.
