None of these are films I want to watch 🫣. #NVLeg

Tax credits are confusing. Thanks @heathergoulding.bsky.social for a clear explainer! Losing potential revenue to general fund hurts public employees and takes away from public services. #NVLeg

🚨🚨🚨 NEW AAUP Report Analyzes Trump Admin Weaponization of Title VI to Undermine Civil Rights Protections. #Academicfreedom #AcademicSky #DefendHigherEd

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!

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!

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!

We had solidarity in Vegas, Reno, and in Elko! Labor in all corners of the state came out in solidarity to say "no" to changing the rules for collective bargaining in the middle of faculty contract negotiations! And the Regents backed down and postponed any changes! @higheredlabor.bsky.social

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!

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...

Time to email your #NSHE Regent or submit public comment: nshe.nevada.edu/regents/publ... Tell Regents to "say no" to changing collective bargaining policy in the middle of negotiations!

"As for faculty, more than a third of provosts reported higher-than-usual turnover last year, in a survey by Hanover Research and the industry publication Inside Higher Ed." Attacks on #HigherEd come from the federal government, but also governing boards. #CollectiveBargaining now!

#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...

Lombardo's $2 increase to education funding is a de facto education cut. Meanwhile, his buddy trump makes back-to-school supplies more expensive for students, families, and educators.

The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social is getting ready for Fall semester and for negotiating contracts at TMCC, WNC, CSN, and now NSU!

Had an absolutely great time the past few days talking politics and civility with smart folks from around the world. Very energized to continue the work. Join us! i2s-research.ku.edu/civility-and...

Public employees deserve the right to collectively bargain! Glad to see Utah fighting back. Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social hopes to see Nevada expand collective bargaining to #HigherEd faculty next session (we'll keep trying until we get rights!)

Please read the July 4 Declaration from the leaders of SUNY University Faculty Senate, Faculty Council of Community Colleges, Student Association, and the CUNY University Faculty Senate, and become a signatory. Petition link in comments. www.sunyufs.us/uploads/1/1/...

No kings.

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

Nevada Regent Goodman asks whether #NSHE is sensitive to student athletes who she evidently believes are transphobic. @unevadareno.bsky.social student leader answers in public comment. #NvLeg #SpeakingTruthToPower

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!

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

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

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

Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social members: This week's Regents' meeting, they will vote to suspend the policy of awarding merit. NSHE says they don't have the budget. We hear some institutions might have some funds. What do we think? nshe.nevada.edu/html/wp-cont...

The AAUP calls for the immediate release of David Huerta & the immediate cessation of these violent & reckless ICE raids that are terrorizing hard-working families from coast to coast. An injury to one is an injury to all. #FreeDavidEndRaids www.aaup.org/media-releas...

Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social members: Governing boards have consequences. They can grant or take away any shared governance we think exists (see our friends in Texas: www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

1 million percent (yes, I suck at math, work with me here). Serving doesn't solve the problems, but we can't solve the problems if we don't engage them at all, or just wait for someone to save us.

Incredibly disappointing to see Gov. Lombardo veto AB155 to include class size as a mandatory subject of bargaining. Nevada continues to struggle with the largest class sizes in the nation, and this is a direct result of the years of chronic underfunding of our schools. #NVLeg #TwoDollarSession

#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

#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!

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!

Tonight, the marquee reads “Studios Over Schools: The $2 Session,” Rated F like our national rankings, for fiscal recklessness and misplaced priorities. On the same day the Governor signed a budget increasing education funding by $2, the Assembly voted to give $1.65B in public money to Hollywood.

#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

#AB188 received bipartisan support in the #NVLeg Assembly! Bill off the the Senate! This bill helps all state public employee retirees (and thanks to our AFSCME and AFSCME retiree colleagues for helping @nvfa.bsky.social NFA get this done!)

Lol Gov. Lombardo just legalized teacher strikes in Nevada... #NVLeg

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.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: We are thrilled to share that Assembly Bill 232 (PERS Equity) was officially signed into law by the Governor! This legislation was a top priority for NSEA and addresses a longstanding inequity affecting our education support professionals (ESPs). #NVLeg

Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social members that are at our non-bargaining union campuses, you DO have a (nation-wide) Local! And all our NFA members get the same benefits and representation in the #NVLeg advocating for your interests!

The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social stands with our K-12 colleagues in supporting #AB388 in #NVLeg!

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.

@nvfa.bsky.social Nevada Faculty Alliance also joined our NSEA colleagues in supporting the freedom to read with AB 146!

NFA's @nvfa.bsky.social #HigherEd budget priorities moving through the money committees in #NVLeg today. Ways passed SB498 out of committee with additional funding amended in! Senate Finance heard AB567 today to help us keep our campus communities safe.
