Trump deleted his racist post. It may be gone. But it’s not forgotten. In this day and age, it is all the more important that we continue to stand up for the humanity, dignity, and respect of everyone. Trump’s actions demonstrate the continued need for effort. I’ll keep fighting.

Governor Spanberger’s overhaul of University of Virginia's Board of Visitors reasserts institutional autonomy & directly challenges Trump’s orchestrated DEI crackdown at top-tier universities. This is the way. @ucwva.bsky.social

BREAKING: the AAUP and @democracydefendersfund.org filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump admin's “Gold Card” visa program, which unlawfully sells US residency to wealthy individuals while pushing aside scientists, researchers, engineers, and other outstanding professionals.

“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

If pressure builds, they will throw someone over board as the “bad guy” but don’t forget that absolutely no one is resigning from ICE or Border Patrol right now.

Alex Pretti, we love you. You are us. We are you. 🩷 Thank you for showing up, we are now showing up for you. You are forever in our hearts, a hero amongst men, and we will fight the good fight in your name. #alexpretti

Show up TONIGHT for Alex Pretti in Reno and please share this far and wide. Don’t be quiet and complicit. We need Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, and non-party Nevadans to show up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. F*ck ICE.

NFA stands in solidarity with Minneapolis nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/...

Here’s some of my friends from the @nvfa.bsky.social UNR and TMCC chapters. Proud to march with them and represent @aaup.org and @aft.org in Nevada!

Nevada faculty are grateful for all the solidarity today. Showing up meant the Regents moved up the agenda item. Our collective advocacy meant the Regents postponed changing collective bargaining policy changes and requesting more faculty input in future process on changes!

The Nevada Faculty Alliance thanks #NSHE Regents who spoke up and demanded that faculty and NFA be brought to the table for an open, transparent process for any policy changes to our collective bargaining process.

The Nevada Faculty Alliance is grateful to all who showed up to give public comment and to highlight how the policy changes for collective bargaining hamper the process, cause confusion, and take away from education! Solidarity wins the day!

Thanks to solidarity from @aft.org and @aflcio.org, the #NSHE Board of Regents did NOT change the collective bargaining policy. Faculty negotiating contracts now will continue to do so under the current rules! #WhenWeFightWeWin!

We're here with the Nevada Faculty Alliance to support the fight to preserve union rights and shared governance for Nevada's higher-ed workers. Solidarity! @nvfa.bsky.social @aft.org @afthighered.bsky.social @aaup.org @thenvindy.com

Tomorrow is the day! We're ready to show up to support #HigherEd collective bargaining for faculty at #NSHE. Join us as we gather before public comment at 9 am at the Board of Regents meeting!

Op-ed by Nevada State University faculty on the upcoming proposed changes to collective bargaining at #NSHE @thenvindy.com thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

Four #NSHE institutions are in the middle of collective bargaining negotiations. This Friday, the Board of Regents looks to change the policy: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

NFA has been attempting to get our right to collectively bargain in state law for the past 8 years (#AB191 #NVLeg). Having only an internal #NSHE process means our management makes the rules and can change the rules--even in the middle of contract negotiations.

#CallToAction: Submit public comment and tell #NSHE Board of Regents to oppose changes to Title 4, Chapter 4. Faculty are negotiating new collective bargaining contracts now. Don't change the rules mid-negotiations: nshe.nevada.edu/regents/publ...

The #NSHE Board of Regents opposed having faculty collective bargaining rights in state law with #AB191 at the #NVLeg. Now they want to change their own internal limited bargaining process for faculty: www.nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/... Faculty are negotiating NOW. Oppose the changes.

Oh, I get to issue my several times a year reminder: Do not boycott a store you usually shop at if folks are trying to unionize/pressure for a contract/make changes UNLESS AND UNTIL THEY ASK YOU TO. Anything else can help management.

We've added a verse to Schoolhouse Rock's "I'm just a bill": its all about #fiscalnotes! #NVLeg @nvfa.bsky.social thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

There was an awful lot of vetoes against workers and collective bargaining this session: www.nevadafacultyalliance.org/NewsArchive/... #NVLeg @nvfa.bsky.social

And Regents did vote to suspend faculty performance pay for FY2026 and FY2027. With no merit steps, no COLAs, the expiration of retention bonuses, and higher employee retirement contributions, faculty pay decreases on July 1, 2025. There is no suspension of inflation in cost of living! #NSHE #NvLeg

Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social members: Today the Board of Regents will decide to suspend merit pay for the next biennium. Faculty compensation needs to be prioritized in budgets. Make your voice heard!

Benefits of belonging to a #Union? Having folks advocate for you at the state legislature. Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social had us in Carson, in Vegas and on the phone to testify on #HigherEd faculty interests at the #NVLeg

The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social made one-on-one meetings with legislators, followed up with one-pagers and handouts on our priorities and key bills--not to mention the quick hallway or elevator discussions. Advocating for #HigherEd faculty at the #NVLeg

How can you tell a paid lobbyist from an unpaid faculty lobbyist? Faculty will listen to the question you asked in a hearing and then bring you the stats and research to answer it in our one-on-one that day. @nvfa.bsky.social advocacy at the #NVLeg

#AB188 passed in the Senate! Public employee retirees getting more in their HRAs and able to save. This was a collaboration between our AFSCME, AFSCME retirees, and Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social #NVLeg Almost Sine Die!

#NVLeg 83rd Session is done. NFA @nvfa.bsky.social scored some wins this session! Our elected Board of Regents have similar standards to our K-12 Boards of Trustees to complete professional development during their terms! #HigherEd

Can't stop, won't stop representing #NSHE faculty in the #NVLeg. In these last days of the session, NFA @nvfa.bsky.social has been in hearing after hearing supporting our priorities! Whether in Carson, Vegas, or on the phone, we've been testifying!

The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social is proud to support #SB156 in #NVLeg. Research and data to help us educate and prevent gun violence is much needed. #UNLV students from all political sides brought this bill.

#AB188 got bipartisan support in the #NVLeg! Big win for state public employee retiree health care. No more cap on their HRA, studies to improve #PEBP! @nvfa.bsky.social

Not been a great #NVLeg for collective bargaining. #AB191 to give the RIGHT to bargain to #NSHE faculty and graduate assistants can't get a hearing because our bosses say they can't afford lots of lawyers. Our other public employee colleagues can't get their contract because bad budget year.

Some progress on some good bills. Safety upgrades and nursing education-good for higher ed, good for our communities!

Good news! Our bill was heard in Ways! Bad news! Even after removing many provisions, it still has a fiscal note from PEBP. We call these 'weaponized fiscal notes' and they are a sneaky barrier to good policy in Carson City. nevadafacultyalliance.org/sys/website Read below to hear the story

The Gods of Carson City have heard our pleas and we have a hearing on #AB188 TODAY (this Tuesday late afternoon!!!) in #NVLeg!
