Cypher at UMass Boston

A collection of UMB faculty, students, and staff that aims to expand our capacity to further dismantle white supremacy and create racial justice and equity

@UMassBoston and @MarceloSuarezO1 are proud to say @UMBLeadershipEd graduate programs such as @UMBUrbanEd and @UMBEduAdm rank 48 in top programs, but still expect us to do more with less. 1 faculty hire is not enough.#DoBetterUMB #UrbanEdMattersUMB

Two weeks is too long to respond to @UMBUrbanEd request for a faulty hire, Provost @jberger #DoBetterUMB #UrbanEdMattersUMB #HigherEdJusticeUMB /end

[Cypher at UMass Boston @umbcypher]

Students of @UMBLeadershipEd met with @jbberger on 3/16 to request he reconsider his denial of a second hire for @UMBUrbanEd and @UMBEduAdm programs. That request was denied. It was mentioned that 6 other programs had the same request /1

[Cypher at UMass Boston @umbcypher]

It has now been TWO WEEKS since that follow-up email to @jbberger was sent and we have not received a reply to our attempt to work together to support the students of @UMassBoston with an additional faculty hire /6

[Cypher at UMass Boston @umbcypher]

@UMBLeadershipEd has 4 programs (70% POC, mostly women) and operates at 50% faculty capacity. When Provost @jbberger asks @UMASSBoston faculty to do more with less, you’re asking students to do the same. 1 @UMBUrbanEd faculty hire is not enough #DoBetterUMB #UrbanEdMattersUMB
