Without a just & inclusive higher ed system, the majority of Americans will be excluded from meaningful participation in our democracy. The AAUP is committed to defending our campuses & the mission of higher ed by organizing our communities to face the challenges ahead. Join us.
There is much to learn from from our colleagues without collective bargaining rights, who organize through pre-majority unions, advocacy chapters & other groups. Join us Nov 12 & 19: "Organizing Strategies & Victories in Non-Collective Bargaining Contexts" buff.ly/40AHPqB
My university mgmt has unilaterally imposed anti-free speech codes on campus and my union responded immediately with a cease-and-desist, claiming this is a matter for mandatory bargaining. Mgmt (no way!) disagrees and we have a hearing now set with labor board for January.
the majority of writing faculty at UChicago will receive 30%+ raises and all of them will have health care and so many other protections
The bargaining team is enormously proud of this tentative agreement and inspired by the strength of our membership in making it possible. Below is the letter we shared with members this weekend that outlines the major victories. seiu73.org/2024/11/facult…
Just out! @Harvard redefines the word “protest” “...a group activity, for example—even a silent one— that is explicitly using a space to make a point is engaging in a demonstration or protest." What happens at universities that doesn’t fit this definition? provost.harvard.edu/faq-protests-l…

We are on ULP strike. We gave @nytimes management months of notice of our strike deadline, we made ourselves available around the clock, but the company has decided that our members aren’t worth enough to agree to a fair contract and stop committing unfair labor practices.
Given the volume of extant scholarship and journalism on the administrative and legal dismantling of faculty governance for decades, this is would be an embarrassing story to publish in a high school newspaper.
