Apparently the Physics department is trying to hire scab graders for fall. Since they’re obviously fine being strike-breakers, the faculty could just…do the grading themselves. But I guess that’s a bridge too far for them. #fairuc #ucstrike

Fairly (#fairuc) relevant these days.

A #university’s institutional functioning as such guarantees a level of exclusiveness and training in apolitical managerial ways of being in the world. Put at its simplest: What is more #antiblack and #anti-communist, the #NewCriticism, or the cost of #tuition?

I stand in solidarity with the striking UC student TAs, graduate student employees, and postdocs. Graduate students workers deserve fair wages.

There is only so much UC can do, though. Change must come from funding agencies (NASA, NSF, DoE, NIH, etc.) and from society writ large.

Stopping by *hiiiiii 👋🏻 to share with you the incredible news of the largest academic strike in US higher education history, happening right now across the University of California! #fairuc #ucstrike #uccola

Stopped by UC workers’ picket line to join in solidarity for a #fairUC. This historic #strike involves 48,000 workers statewide!

Their demands you can read at https://www.fairucnow.org include livable wages, childcare, and sustainable transportation. Unions AND free transit and bike lanes? Talk about confluence of my interests.

One speaker commutes from Albany and it would cost TWICE AS MUCH via transit as driving. UC, make it easy to do the right thing, cover #transit passes!
