FSU Calendar September 8th to 12th

Monday, September 8th FSU Executive Committee 3:30PM to 5:00PM

Executive Committee meetings are open to all members in good standing. The meetings tend to be a mix of routine, keep-the-trains-running, agenda items along with more substantive discussion about the larger issues facing faculty and librarians.  At today’s meeting we will be discussing FSU committees and offices, upcoming FSU events, a solidarity action for PSU layoffs, and more.

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.

This week’s Point is written by Steve Striffler, a professor in Labor Studies.

The fact that universities are under a broad attack from the Trump administration is abundantly clear.  And, although the jury is still out, it is becoming impossible to ignore that university administrations are thus far unwilling to put up much of a fight.   Most are remaining eerily quiet, no doubt fearful that speaking out will put a target on their institution’s back.
