“The police neutralized the shooter on April 17 in 2 minutes & 17 seconds, & they have told us that they wouldn't have been able to do that if there had been other guns on the scene. We’d be more at risk if there were more guns on campus.” - @uff-fsu.bsky.social Pres www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Florida lawmakers are advancing a bill to allow professors to carry guns on campus. We are pushing back, saying arming faculty is not a real safety solution and could make campuses more dangerous. More guns ≠ more safety. Read more here: www.tallahassee.com/story/news/s... #FSU #FloridaNews

FSU faculty are speaking out against new BOG regulations that limit CoreFSU courses, calling them a threat to academic freedom and critical thinking. Universities should challenge students—not censor ideas. Read more: www.fsunews.com/story/news/2...

America’s unions celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for justice and equality. The civil rights and labor movements have long worked together, and we honor that bond by continuing Dr. King’s work and mobilize for a better future for all.

I try not to give in to hopelessness and despair, but FSU’s faculty union is on the verge of decertification. If, in the next week or so, we don’t reach the arbitrary 60-percent membership threshold set by state lawmakers (“public safety” unions are exempt, of course), our union will cease to exist.
