“It is no longer sufficient to merely teach, serve & publish in our own #HigherEd ed silo. To keep our ability to do that—to have that academic freedom—we have to teach, serve & publish on the freedom needed for higher education…the best way to save higher ed is to save

Endeavor Flight Attendants deserve a fair share of the profits they create for Delta. It’s the same job. Passengers buy tickets & check-in on the same app for their flight. The planes are painted in Delta colors and logos. But Delta pays on average 45% less for the same work. 1/2

After criticism by anti-abortion activists an artist’s talk was cancelled ⁦University of Houston⁩, a public university that should be governed by norms of freedom of expression. insidehighered.com/news/students/…

Censorship bill passed in Alabama Senate: “free speech groups … say the measure could limit faculty members’ speech to such an extent that even professors who disagree with the bill’s list of “divisive concepts” couldn’t teach students about these ideas—even to criticize them.”

There appears to be a major problem with due process at Texas Tech University.

🧵Toyota workers talk about why they're organizing a union: "How can the richest car company in the world not follow basic safety practices? We’re organizing to fix what’s wrong and win the protection we need.”

I stayed up a full three hours after my bedtime working hard to create new & relevant off-syllabus material for my teach-in, in solidarity w the SENS-UAW strike. Management needs to see what terrifies them the most: that we can learn together without a university. ♥️🖤

📣Academic Freedom Call to Action📣 Please consider signing this statement in support of Texas Tech Assistant Professor Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores, who has been targeted, doxxed, & slandered due to his pro-Palestine commitment & online speech. higheredlaborunited.org/2024/03/06/aca… #academicfreedom

⭐️⭐️We hope college and university administrators will learn that when faculty speak as private individuals, they have the #academicfreedom and free speech rights to post on social media accounts, including comments related to their scholarly expertise. thefire.org/news/victory-c…

Our neoliberal institutions are constitutionally incapable of addressing this threat. Academic labor organizing is important for so many reasons, one of which is giving those of us on the front lines a voice in the struggle over the future of higher ed chronicle.com/article/if-tru…

ASU and U of A friends - that means joining us in United Campus Workers Arizona. Sign our petition urging Katie Hobbs to veto the package of bad higher ed bills pushed by J6 insurrectionist Anthony Kern! actionnetwork.org/petitions/prot…

✴️ We agree! UT Austin is over-implementing SB 17, going far beyond the anti-DEI requirements laid out in the bill. Longhorns who have worked hard to “make it your UT” deserve better than abrupt, unexplained closures from the administration. Offer respect & transparency, please!

“If you’re not at the table, you're on the menu.” — Ann Richards For the 2024 #SOTU, Texans are making sure unions have a seat at the table. With President Rick Levy as Congressman Greg Casar's guest, the Texas AFL-CIO will be attending the State of the Union for the first time! #1u
