Dear Members,

As workers in public higher education, we have been facing a barrage of attacks; from our grants to our diversity, to our academic freedom, to our immigrant colleagues. These attacks all stem from one root: a singular offense against working people and the public goods that our democracy relies on.

Dear Members,

200 members of the four campus unions gathered to meet with the Chancellor, the Provost and other members of upper administration on Tuesday, February 18th. We wanted to share our concerns and fears about federal government threats to members of our community on the basis of immigration status, gender identity, and race, and attacks on higher education including cuts to federal grant funding.
