SUMMARY:April 10 - AAUP power-mapping exercise
DESCRIPTION:Higher education has become the testing ground for massive cuts and attempts to silence opposition to authoritarianism. \nWe need to understand who is fueling this crisis on our campuses. Join the AAUP for an online research party to examine whether any of your institution’s regents\, trustees\, or governing board members are undermining higher education by supporting\, advocating for\, or profiting from Trump–Musk policies. Our goal is to map conflicts of interest among governing board members who are entrusted with the stewardship of our college and universities. \nThe Action Center on Race and the Economy (ACRE) will facilitate a brief training on how to identify Trump–Musk ties\, and then we’ll spend the rest of the time collaboratively discussing and collating our findings. \nCheck your email for the link!

SUMMARY:AAUP Postcard Party
DESCRIPTION:Take a break on reading day to socialize with the AAUP! \nFaculty deserve a say in our working conditions at UMD\, but we don’t have the\nright to collectively bargain. As part of our campaign\, we’re writing postcards to\nour State Senators and Delegates to tell them why we deserve a voice. It’s\nalso a great time to procrastinate from grading\, meet new friends from across\ncampus\, and ask us questions about AAUP at UMD! \n  \n  \n  \nWhere: 4105G Hornbake (South Side of the building\, above the career center) \nWhen: Drop in any time between 12 – 4 on Tuesday\, December 12th. \nHow: We’ll provide snacks\, coffee\, and postcards–just bring yourself and friends \nWho: Built for faculty\, but everyone is welcome!
