Coalition for Academic Justice at UArizona

We’re staff, students & faculty fighting for equity, transparency & representation at @uarizona amidst the Covid-19 crisis & beyond. Join us & @UCWArizona.

@UCWArizona @uarizona @UAZProvost @UArizonaPres @CAJUArizona And wasn't it a few months ago when they said they could not return the furlough salary cuts because it would be unfair as some colleges could and some couldn't?

[Gary Rhoades @garyrhoades]

👇 Exactly. It's a PARTIAL restoration of furloughed $ taken from staff/faculty. It's a step, that our pressure has contributed to. @UCWArizona And we'll keep pushing for a full restoration of our wages. We're also pushing for rehiring to pre-covid staff & faculty & student #'s.

[Chun Ly, Ph.D. @astrochunly]

@UCWArizona @uarizona @UAZProvost @UArizonaPres @CAJUArizona Making it so the colleges have to pay for it is ridiculous. Same with the whole UCAP. Here's how much less you are making, but as far as closing that gap, it's on colleges.

Research depts may be able to find the money through federal grants, but those providing service will not.

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Just weeks after rescinding them, some colleges are starting to bring back mask mandates. https://t.co/nrhcRD6yp6

How’s this, in true @uarizona fashion:

We cut your pay by 10% during the pandemic, but then gave you a 2.5% “raise”—so now we’re cool, right?

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We know we just gave you a raise, but now we need to fire you because faculty and staff lost confidence in you because of the raise we gave you. Why is that hard to understand?

[United Campus Workers Arizona @UCWArizona]

UA workers, a few things we have to say about raises coming our way.

[NLRB @NLRB_Board]

85 years ago, in a case called Jones & Laughlin, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Act—also known as the “Wagner Act”—affirming the NLRB’s authority to protect workers’ freedom to organize and bargain collectively.

ICYMI: The disastrous @uarizona & Ashford University merger is prompting louder calls to defund & take disciplinary action against @UAZGlobalCampus.

WE TOLD YOU SO.

👇We have opposed this "deal" from the start b/c it harms the vast majority of sts. @CAJUArizona @UCWArizona With each addtl red flag it's clear that to serve these sts, we shld manage a controlled decline & teach out/transition folks. @GIBillRights @kathrynbpalmer @Hubbard_WJ

[Gary Rhoades @garyrhoades]

Another red flag & set of excuses from UAGC. https://t.co/ZCs6eOpnVX What's not in "imp info" is the grants do not appear to cover housing allowance, which is critical. Will all affected students be covered? If not, why not? @kathrynbpalmer @UCWArizona @Hubbard_WJ @TICAS_org

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Canceling student debt BOOSTS the economy.

[Gary Rhoades @garyrhoades]

👇 Yet another example of management failing to serve these sts. Senior leadership of UAGC & UofA is better at shifting the blame than at investing in & serving the sts. @UCWArizona @CAJUArizona

[United Campus Workers Arizona @UCWArizona]

That’s right. We organize because we believe our universities can be better and we’re willing to put the work in.
@CAJUArizona @ContingentUCWAZ

[UCWAZ Contingent Faculty @ContingentUCWAZ]

Yes, we love our union @UCWArizona 😍

[Coalition for Academic Justice at UArizona @CAJUArizona]

🤑🤑🤑

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

When we said we wanted the university to run more like a business, we didn’t mean for you to expense more lunches and cocktail hours. And yes, you need to return the ping pong and foosball tables. This isn’t Google.

[Gary Rhoades @garyrhoades]

👇 Retaliation against faculty & employees has no place in hed, or any workplace. Collin College shld reinstate @drphillips2001 @UCWArizona @ContingentUCWAZ @Alex_T_Young @Sesjones @HigherEdLabor @NEAToday @AFTunion

[Coalition for Academic Justice at UArizona @CAJUArizona]

Great question. Says so much about academia today.

[Tracy Jan @TracyJan]

Another important @EricaLG story. This online for-profit college lured Black women into a cycle of debt and despair with its 'reverse redlining' practices.

"Labor unions offer Democrats a chance to change that and appeal to workers normally outside their reach. While union membership sits tied at a record low, **union approval has reached its highest point since 1965**."

UAGC: We id'd the perils of this "deal," @CAJUArizona @UArizonaPres said it wld cost us nothing & bring us $. Now, we r on the hook for $103M if UAGC fails, & if Zovio fails we'll have to bail UAGC out. But @UCWArizona has ideas for offramps. @kathrynbpalmer @alisteinbach
