The FSU LGBTQIA+ Caucus meeting on February 8 has been postponed so as to not conflict with a WGSS candidate talk that has been scheduled for the same time. We are consulting with that department and will send out an update as soon as this caucus meeting has been rescheduled.

Towards the end of last semester we at The Point came across an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that captures so much of what is happening within higher ed that we decided to simply reprint it.  Although UMass Boston has (up until now) avoided some of the corporate incursions into higher education and concomitant disinvestment by the government, much of what follows hits far too close to home.  It highlights many of the dangers to avoid while suggesting alternative models for building a better system of higher education.

Union Colleagues of the FSU LGBTQIA+ Caucus,

We invite everyone to a Zoom meeting to discuss LGBTQIA+ issues as a caucus and report back to the FSU and the Core Bargaining Team. We believe a synchronous Zoom experience can help us better know each other and amplify our collective needs, as well as accommodate people’s schedules and transportation needs. We hope you aren’t Zoom fatigued just yet!
