We want a university that does not just talk about democracy, justice, and racial and gender equality, but puts these values into action in its budget and operations.
We believe that a better university is possible
Are you upset with the direction that the University of Maryland (UMD) has headed towards in recent years?
We are too.
So we started UAM-UMD to push back against the corporatization of UMD and to build a more just and a more compassionate future for the university.
We are open to all graduate student instructors and researchers, adjunct and professional track faculty, library faculty, and tenure-track faculty.
