Grateful for UC Faculty Association leaders. UCLA's Faculty Association and our UC-wide council pushed the Regents for transparency. When push came to shove, they sued over it. This is a matter of public interest. Californians deserve to know about Trump's attempt to ransom the UC. Thank you CUCFA!

I’ve decided to live in the moss world, everything is crystalline light and clean, untroubled by anything larger. Still working on how to shrink down to dew drop level, once that detail is overcome I’m there. It’ll be so easy to ‘touch moss’ every day when I live beneath the towering green fronds. 🌿
