A brief statement of who we are and what we want to do for the #suu community. #tbirds #tbirdnation

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

We are deeply disappointed by the University's choice to select Dr. Holland as this year's commencement speaker. We ask President Benson and the Board of Trustees to reconsider.

Please see the attached open-letter outlining our reasons.

It’s #GivingTuesday and we’ve got news to share!. We welcome new FAST Funds at @PSU_AAUP, @AftSuu, @Hostosfastfund1, Kent State University, and Rutgers University to our network. https://t.co/H1vXaYH9Nf

SUU AFT recognizes the challenges faced by women & members of the lgbtq+ community in Utah & this ruling raises more. We are here to support our colleagues & are open to suggestions for how we can make our university a safer space for everyone.

The 5.75% approved by the legislature for SUU employee pay marks a unique opportunity to address the long-standing equity issues on campus. We request that @SUUtbirds give faculty and staff some voice in deciding how to best allocate these funds.

We would like to thank the Faculty Senate for their insights into the #suutbirds presidential search. We echo their requests, and add a few of our own.

@lawrence_mbaki Why did they vote to end tenure, or why is that a very bad thing?

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

If you’re not worried about this, you’re not paying attention.

Dear #Tbirdnation:

If you are interested in joining #AFT, drop us a line here, or via email (suu [dot] aft [at] gmail [dot] com).

We are going to have a recruiting drive in a few weeks. We are here for you. Both faculty and staff.

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

It’s heartbreaking to see @SUUtbirds go against the scientific consensus, the will of 96% of the faculty on campus, our #USHE peers, and the best interests of the campus community.
There will be no vaccine mandate at #SUU.
Message received.

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

Okay, you’ve held five forums, have surveys out, & have known for well over a year that masks and vaccines are the way to stem the tide of Covid.

Why are you waiting @SUUtbirds?

Make a call. Vaccine mandate or no?

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

We sent this letter to President Benson. In short, we ask that @SUUtbirds join our peer institutions from around Utah in mandating a COVID-19 vaccine. @higheredutah

[SUU_AFT @AftSuu]

We would like to thank FS President Gardner-Reeves for this thoughtful note. We stand in support of the Faculty Senate in asking the @SUUtbirds to follow our USHE colleagues in enforcing a vaccine mandate at #SUU.
Keep #tbirdnation safe.
