Digression, but why in the world do faculty in MD—a solid democratic state—not have collective bargaining rights like all other MD state employees?!?! @mddems, @MDSenate, @mdhousedems, what's up with this?!?! You gotta get this done this year. 4/5

Give some love to the @UAM_UMD & other MD @AAUP chapters at Towson, UMBC, Coppin, Frostburg, UMES, UBaltimore, Morgan State (prob missed some!) who have been fighting to pass legislation in MD to grant them collective bargaining rights! 1/5
UAM-UMD@UAM_UMD

United Academics of MD (UAM) was in the house at the campaign launch of @SenBillFerg last week. We were there to tell him we need him to lead on passing our bill for collective bargaining rights for ALL faculty across Maryland. We hope you will make that commitment, Senator 1/2

The @AAUP and partners like Knight First Amendment Institute & @ruaaup will fight for our members freedom of speech, and importantly the right to freedom to dissent from the radical agenda of Trump and Rubio!

Appalling. Tribal colleges “are lifelines in Indian Country,” Nama Rep. Leger Fernández said in a statement. “They provide higher education rooted in language, culture and community. These cuts would rob Native students of opportunity and violate our trust responsibilities.”
ProPublica@propublica

A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities. propublica.org/article/tribal…

There are 6600 international students at UT Austin & more planning to come in August. They contribute intellectually, socially & economically to our campus. Here are 2 of them. Many others are too frightened to come forward, given the threats they now face kut.org/education/2025…

Texas universities oversight bill wins final approval 😢We fought long & hard against SB 37, which dramatically increases state control over public universities & colleges. Don’t believe the bill’s supporters when they say it won’t lead to a brain drain. texastribune.org/2025/05/24/tex…

“We’re seeing a growing movement within civil society, that has to be maintained, & has to be maintained for years. The damage that the Trump administration is doing is absolutely beyond the pale & has never, never been equaled in American life with regard to higher education.”

Community colleges & K-12 schools also rely on NSF grants for workforce development & career & tech ed. Cuts to NSF grants not only harm research unis, they threaten the entire STEM education pipeline, severely limiting opportunity for all students. insidehighered.com/news/governmen…

The assault on higher education continues. With the potential to keep international students who aren't aligned with this administration's ideology out of our colleges and universities, we've unlocked a new level in the authoritarian regime. politico.com/news/2025/05/2…
