Tried power mapping with my big lecture class and was pleased with the way it went. The assignment is here if you're interested in the logistics of it. docs.google.com/presentation...

The majority of faculty on campus work on semester contracts w/no job security. Even those with tenure can be denied due process. Don’t cut us out of collective bargaining. The higher ed lobbyist agenda is NOT pro-worker! @donscott757.bsky.social @senlouiselucas.bluesky.bot @ssurovell.bsky.social

Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike. University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections. NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!

Richest university in the world and the janitors removing snow from campus during a blizzard had to sleep on the floor and in closets when they were stuck on campus overnight. Harvard's treatment of its workers remains absolutely shameful.

LET’S GOOOOOOOO

Next-level.

Congratulations to graduate student research and teaching workers at the University of Pennsylvania, who just ratified their first-ever contract by an incredible 99% 🎉🎆🥳

I 🧡 GET-UP

I cannot wait to listen to this. As a fired fed who represents other fired feds, super excited for it.

Dr. Lorena Grundy, VP of @aaup-penn.bsky.social, will discuss their response to the Trump Admin's Compact for Higher Education and the compact's implications for academic freedom, research, and institutional autonomy.

JUSTICE FOR THE FIRED SIX NOW! We will not stop until these wrongfully terminated professors are reinstated with full back pay. Please Sign & Share the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa...

The president of St. John's University's announcement that the school will no longer recognize its two faculty unions is a shameful union-busting move. SJU faculty have been working for 236 days without a contract. Please sign the petition below to demand a return to the bargaining table.

The assault at OSU underscores the contentious role of OSU's Chase Center, an "intellectual diversity" center forced onto OSU by Ohio lawmakers. The Chase Center has been widely criticized for its limited accountability in hiring & curriculum & lack of responsibilities to the university.

“Two powerful teachers’ unions that have committed at least $27.5 billion to Apollo wrote a letter to the SEC this week calling for federal regulators to investigate Apollo’s “apparent lack of candor” over its relationship with Epstein.” Let’s get this investigation going NOW. #academicsky @aft.org

Thousands of union members from Teamsters Local 2010, CFA, CSUEU, APC, UAW Local 4123, as well as community members rallied across the rainy state to picket at all 22 CSU campuses in hopes of helping the Teamsters secure a fair contract. Read more: https://ow.ly/UgAV50YiBpR

Our UT colleagues have the same questions we do.

"organizing with others in your same condition generates a lot of the goods we’re alienated from in our competitive society. the connection you have to others, the nonalienated ways of relating, it’s something I didn’t count on because I’ve never been in a union before." jacobin.com/2026/02/nyu-...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

AAUP-OSU is in solidarity with the Ohio Nurses Association, who is standing with survivors & calling for the removal of Wexner’s name from the medical center & all campus facilities. Did you get a Med Center umbrella in the mail? Bring it to the picket! And some red tape to cross off the “W.”

Union membership is on the rise — and our ranks in AAUP are growing as part of this trend. Organizers across sectors and in higher ed are building the infrastructure to accomplish major wins in the future. See below for more on 2025 as a banner year for membership growth in the AAUP:

ICYMI: Colleagues & I successfully negotiated a 1st contract for UPenn's grad workers after 16 months of bargaining and 5 years of organizing. Proud of us for mounting a credible strike threat in order to massively improve pay and benefits for thousands of academics ✊️🟧🆙️ www.thedp.com/article/2026...

The Epstein files revealed new details of multiple meetings over several years between convicted pedophile Epstein, Apollo CEO Marc Rowan and his Apollo co-founder and former CEO Leon Black. The AAUP & AFT are demanding that the Securities & Exchange Commission open an investigation. @aft.org

"Penn reached a historic tentative agreement with its graduate student union on Monday night, narrowly averting a strike that would have impacted teaching and research across the University." 📰 www.thedp.com/article/2026...

“Faculty are now seeing the AAUP as the only place where their issues, their interests and their jobs are being protected against the legislature and the IU administration.” — David McDonald, AAUP Indiana University President @iubaaup.bsky.social

Last week in Tallahassee, FSU faculty and grad assistants testified against the anti-union bill (SB 1296). @uff-fsu.bsky.social #UnionStrong

@aaup-penn.bsky.social shows how faculty and staff can stand in solidarity with grad students. If you work at Penn, please sign this no-strikebreaking pledge.

2/2] Grad workers’ labor can’t be replaced, and those of us who work with them should refuse to help the administration undermine a strike. Penn can settle this by negotiating a fair contract today. If you work at Penn, sign now to pledge that you won’t be a strikebreaker tinyurl.com/NoStrikebrea...

As the clock ticks on GETUP-UAW’s strike deadline, administrators are trying to intimidate dep’t chairs into strikebreaking, demanding “continuity plans” for courses. Hundreds of Penn faculty and staff are saying no by signing AAUP-Penn’s no-strikebreaking pledge [1/2]

Join us tonight at 7pmET for a mass call to get ICE out of schools. The webinar is led by the AAUP, the AFT, the Sunrise Movement, and others. You’ll leave with tools to map your university’s ties, link up with allies & run a campaign that forces decision-makers to drop ICE’s billionaire partners.

Lecturers contract bargaining starts February 19th! Berkeley Unit 18: Show your support all day at Bauer Wurster Hall. Everyone: Join us for a solidarity bake sale at California Hall from 10:30am-2:00pm! @ucaftbayarea.bsky.social @karodger.bsky.social #WeTeachUC

Happy Valentine's Day to our members who lovingly educate, mentor, and lift up their students. Philly students deserve the whole dang world! #PhlEd #ValentinesDay

"As Penn’s graduate student union finalizes preparations for a potential strike on Feb. 17, support from local politicians, faculty members, and undergraduate students has intensified." www.thedp.com/article/2026...

Congratulations to the newly formed AAUP chapter at Williams College! “An overwhelming number of faculty decided that it would behoove us to have more independent organization & to try to stand up for faculty governance, for having our voice heard in the governance of this institution."

We stand with our union siblings @uupinfo.bsky.social, who started negotiations with New York State today. Looking forward to all your wins and supporting you whenever needed! #uupcontract

@uupinfo.bsky.social, PSC, @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social, and @ruaaup-ptl.bsky.social, together representing more than 80,000 academic workers, today issued a call for an end to the brutal treatment of immigrants and those peacefully demonstrating against actions by ICE. psc-cuny.org/news-events/...

Apollo, the company Rowan leads, has a reputation for stripmining the companies it purchases, including hospitals. Also, how hard is it to just decide not to engage with Epstein given how deeply damaging connections have been for Apollo? prospect.org/2023/10/21/2...

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities. People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

The CSU/OpenAI contract is set to expire June 30, 2026. Sign this petition: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/cancel-chatgpt-edu-invest-in-humans/ for the CSU NOT to renew the contract and to use the savings to protect jobs at CSU campuses facing layoffs.

Well well well
