Dear Colleague,

I hope you are safe and well given the coronavirus pandemic.  Here is an update. 

►The financial outlook for UMB:  Many people are asking about budget cuts.  If these occur, this will be from cuts from the state budget and/or declining enrollments.  The university does not have a picture of enrollments for the fall yet.

Dear Colleague,

I hope you are coping the best you can in these challenging times.  The Greater Boston Labor Council is circulating a survey to help Mayor Walsh understand the childcare needs of Boston’s workers.  Please take time to complete this so they can address this important need.

Dear FSU Member,

Public Higher Ed Advocacy Day 2020 is next Monday, March 2nd at the State House.

Join fellow UMB unions and other UMass system unions to tell our state legislators how the underfunding of public higher education has affected you and your students.  Tell them why the passage of the Cherish Act  (https://massteacher.org/current-initiatives/fund-our-future/higher-education)  is so important.
