"This is in keeping with the trend to one, eliminate introduction to sociology as a potential general ed class for students, and two, to use this process as a soapbox to speak out against sociology as a discipline." - UFF President, Dr. Robert Cassanello naplesnews.com/story/news/sta…

Higher education is a public good, not a political football. It's time to make our voices heard and demand our elected officials protect this vital institution. Add your voice to ours! Tell Congress to invest in our future. @aftunion @aaupnational

We stand with our @hgsuuaw siblings who are on strike at @Harvard until they get the fair contract they need and deserve.

Meet Davina, a Sr. Custodian at UCLA. She commutes 120 miles every day because she can't afford to live near the campus where she works. #WhyWeFIght #afscme3299 #ucworker #housingassistance #UCLA #universityofcalifornia #losangeles #faircontractnow #housing

THANK YOU to @tiffany_caban, @samantha4queens, @jengaboury, @ryderkessler, @Brianr4NY, and of all the members of Local 7902, @cfuuaw, @UCATS3882, and @PSC_CUNY who joined us last week to rally for @nyuniversity to extend Paid Family Leave benefits to NYU adjunct faculty!

Appalling. AAUP will continue to fight against censorship and discrimination in higher education.

Reminder that adjunct faculty *make up over half of @nyuniversity's professors* nyunews.com/news/2026/04/2…
