Crushing it at our first chapter summer retreat. Sharing ideas and building power. 💪✊ @aaup.bsky.social @ct-aaup.bsky.social

You know, @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social told a group of us last weekend that the AAUP has the power to make a major difference over the next few years. EVERYONE JOIN. EVERYONE ORGANIZE. We can't lose if we don't quit. @aaup.bsky.social @ct-aaup.bsky.social

Jason Wozniak of the @debtcollective.bsky.social helping us follow the money and think about higher ed and debt. (Also 👀👀 those tabs)

@isaackamola.bsky.social walking us through the various methods the right uses to attack Higher Ed. #aaup

@hamiltonnolan.bsky.social at @ct-aaup.bsky.social quoting Mother Jones “we must fight and win. We must fight and lose. But, above all else, we must fight.”

A great morning building power together at the CT State AAUP conference. Hamilton Nolan started us off strong, and we're still going...

Defending Higher Ed must be priority #1.

Hamilton Nolan is coming and you should too!

It's been five weeks. Are you organizing your campus? Are you preparing to fight back?

There's a section at the end about funding higher ed and listening to organized labor, so worth a share here!

Co-governance means that faculty should be involved in these kinds of decisions.

Right to learn, right to roam.

About to begin a two-day AAUP "Skills to Win" workshop. Starts in 5 minutes. Desperately making lunch. Going to be fun.

“It’s time to restore the promise for our students, fund our schools, protect our services, and above all, invest in our faculty who make this education possible” -- CSU-AAUP and the 4Cs on the CT budget for Connecticut State Universities and Community Colleges on Thursday.

Happy to announce (unless the rest of the XC overrides this decision, which, c'mon) that we are saying THANK YOU NEXT to the hell site. We're here full time. Let's gooooo.

Agreed!

In case anyone is wondering if the Wesleyan administration is still handling student protests well, the answer is hell no. wesleyanargus.com/2024/11/04/e...

Happy new semester to all who celebrate. Don't forget to organize your campus and make the administration uncomfortable!

Our chapter is thrilled to be taking part in the April 17th Day of Action! Come on by (Usdan!) and get agitated, educated, and organized!

Please come down and support our student workers!

Our chapter is happy to announce our work on proposed Faculty Governance Reforms, the goal of which is to empower our faculty to become true co-governors of the university: advise on TT hiring, oversee budgets, and ensure equitable salaries. ✊✊ www.wesleyanaaup.org/governance-r...

This is real, unfortunately. Since the start of the school year, we have had to fill out one of these for literally every speaker and event at my 11yo's school, even if she doesn't have to leave the classroom. That includes visiting the scholastic book fair display

FRIDAY. RUSSELL HOUSE. 2pm. Learning about finances is cool now. I swear.

THIS FRIDAY (9/22), Bunsis is coming to explain Wesleyan's financial health. Where does all the money go? Join us: 2pm @ Russell House. Interested in learning more? Visit our linktree! linktr.ee/wesleyanaaup

September 22nd. 2pm. Russell House. Join us to find out how #Wesleyan spends that paper. Can we lower tuition? Can we hire more staff? Can we invest responsibly? It turns out independent audits are special kind of vibe. BUNSIS IS COMING.

Big things.

Universities help create good citizens (not mindless workers) and that is worth fighting for. https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/views/2023/08/10/tenured-professors-call-arms-opinion#

It's August 9th, so we have approximately three weeks to say "I'll start my syllabus tomorrow." Between now and then, let's get organized and think about how to improve our campuses for everyone.

Not good. Organize. https://www.opencampusmedia.org/2023/08/04/no-one-is-immune-from-attack-professors-are-warned-in-tampa/

We're new here. Hello. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that the people working IN the buildings are more important than the naming rights FOR the building.

AA_P. What's missing? YOU. Join up, get active, and reclaim the university for faculty, staff, and students. https://www.aaup.org/membership/join
