Turning Point chapters are reviving at UA campuses.
Expect these dweebs to try and get fired anyone to the left of, say, Mike Johnson.
The bosses do not have your back in. Only solidarity and collective action can save us. At the first attack on ONE, ALL need to respond. Stop work! Wildcat strike!

University of Alaska workers must now have certain medical care approved by third party company EviCore.
EviCore is also known as EVIL CORE by critics who say its guidelines are "outdated," "inappropriately rigid," and delay care (per Wikipedia).

Those fighting for a University of #Alaska staff union say they are dealing with "stagnant salaries, increasing workloads, vanishing benefits, threats to job security," etc.
But so are faculty -- and they're already unionized.
Unions are no silver bullet. In fact, they are hardly a weapon.
They segregate us into different groups, each fighting as individual blocs that are limited to whatever paltry methods the capitalist state allows.
No wonder that the head of the French employers' association once said that "we have everything to lose if the unions become weaker still..."
We're not trying to quash an incipient struggle. Rather, we are doing our minuscule part to dispel illusions and kindle that spark of resistance into something fierce.
We need to fight and win as an entire workforce. No unions to segregate us or to impose legal limits. Mass struggle!
We disagree with anyone who says that staff should learn the hard way how limited and weak unions are now.
No!
As our comrade Anton Pannekoek once said: "you don't take a wrong turning to show other people that it is wrong, you go the right way from the outset!"
To that end, we encourage all militant #UniversityOfAlaska workers to look at our site, which contains worthwhile critiques of the union form from a truly militant, revolutionary, working class standpoint!

A reader pointed out that the University of #Alaska #Anchorage hosted the US and Russian delegates at this week's meeting between war criminals. Yuck.
We're sure he had better accommodations off campus, but just imagine showing up to the dorms next week and finding out that Sergei Lavrov just used your bed. Fuck that.
And by the way, this serves as a reminder that we rely on information from our readers! Please share your news, whether it is public or internal.

Did you ever have any professors who you went back to for multiple classes, over the years? That was Stephen Haycox. Just the best teacher.

With crashing pay and working conditions, expect the University of Alaska to become a refuge of pseudo-intellectual riffraff like this pro-Nazi, pro-rape former faculty member:
There's hiring freezes, but the University can pay the cost of three staff positions to bring Liz Cheney to Anchorage.
Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney will be speaking in Anchorage in May. She was invited to speak by the University of Alaska College of Arts and Sciences. When asked what he speaking fee was, Austin Osborne, Chief Marketing Officer for UAA...… Read More
The #UniversityOfAlaska regents who voted to remove DEI language from all University websites and publications.
These people look totally qualified to make decisions about DEI, yeah?
One of us dreamt that University of Alaska President Pat Pitney resigned and her replacement was announced not as name, not even as a person, but as nothing more than "a pair of sunken eyes."
On waking up, they were considerably disappointed.
