The #highered funding model is broken. 💔

“We’ve lost a generation of scientists”: US talent turns to France Funding cuts and attacks on academic freedom are driving US researchers to seek opportunities in Europe, as stakeholders warn of “historic damage” to America’s scientific ecosystem.

Attacks on academic freedom are driving US researchers to seek opportunities elsewhere.

“Contingency, dwindling jobs & rampant underfunding of education means that a lack of mobility is the norm across the academic profession...& why we must fight..."

—Isaac Kamola, AAUP CDAF

We next Maryland faculty!

Let's get this collective bargaining bill over the finish line!

A major victory! ✊

"This is a member-driven landmark achievement that will have an enormous impact in Kansas. This would not be possible without the courage of our members, who dug in and fought so hard because they knew that a fair contract was possible.”

—Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

It was so cool to go to this townhall in @senbillferg.bsky.social's district, see just how many university workers live there, and learn that, after stopping ICE, the top issue was union rights for USM workers. A million thanks to brilliant videographer Josh Davidsburg for capturing it all on film.

That's my union.

faculty need a union (cat) too @jortsthecat.bsky.social

I am so proud of the work @UAM-UMD and our colleagues across Maryland are doing with community partners.

thanks!

Our members at @uam-umd.bsky.social are fighting to secure collective bargaining rights for Maryland's non-tenure track faculty.

Unions in higher ed are showing us how to defend democracy and to make higher ed a common good for all.

Follow their page for updates on their campaign 🔥

Did you know that almost all other Maryland state workers have the collective bargaining rights that give them a meaningful say in their workplaces.

@senbillferg.bsky.social, @mddems.bsky.social, & @mdhousedems.bsky.social, MD’s faculty deserve these same rights!

Who is leading the fight against the Trump admin attack on universities & our communities throughout this country?

Unions are!

@senbillferg.bsky.social @mddems.bsky.social & @mdhousedems.bsky.social, help us help defend democracy & MD universities by passing our collective bargaining bill!

We stand with @uam-umd.bsky.social as they fight for collective bargaining rights. @aftmaryland.bsky.social Every worker deserves a voice on the job. bsky.app/profile/uam-...
