#PennState faculty just passed a resolution for a unified defense against political and legal threats to higher education.

Our leadership must heed their calls. Solidarity is the best shield to safeguard our academic freedom and institutional autonomy.

We stand with grad workers - improved wages, benefits, and guaranteed workplace protections NOW! And we need leaders at the top who support workers' rights to unionize without intimidation. ✊

Grad workers across the university delivered a letter to their dean this week asking them to urge the admin to let us vote this semester! We need improved wages, benefits, and guaranteed workplace protections NOW.
