Free FIU

First DeSantis came for @NewCollegeofFL to implement a hostile, right-wing takeover of their institution. Then he came for @FLPolyU…

Today @YDSAFIU, our faculty union (@UFF_FIU), and grad student workers (@gwrfiu) held a Labor Day cookout to kickoff our coalition work for the semester. We shared food, games, and fruitful conversations of plans for the year of organizing ahead! 💙💛

NO FIRINGS, NO FEAR WE HAVE ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!

Even if you don't see your major or organization explicitly mentioned, DeSantis also wants to rework Gen Ed courses to align with the "principles stated by the Declaration of Independence." In other words, DeSantis wants to make academics fit HIS desired narrative. 2/3

‼️DESANTIS IS ATTACKING THESE MAJORS & ORGANIZATIONS‼️ HB999 aims to destory higher education as we know it! It seeks to DEFUND DEI programs, BAN certain majors, and rework or CENSOR certain topics or curriculums in classrooms. 1/3
