ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

As opposition over potential cuts has intensified, the university has maintained that budget reduction plans are not finalized.

“When UO workers are under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back! When the institution of tenure is under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back!” is one of the crowd’s prepared chants.

Some union members just went inside Johnson Hall, an administrative building, to deliver a petition against the potential cuts, which has over 2,600 signatures. The audience is chanting in support.

Multiple professors and union members have spoken on the steps of Johnson Hall to decry the rumored layoffs before an audience of attendees holding signs and wearing union merch

UO’s faculty union, United Academics of the University of Oregon, organized the rally. Cuts, including potential program eliminations and layoffs of tenured faculty, are expected to roll out the week of Sept. 7 due to the university’s projected budget gap.
