Fantastic win in Maryland. As the Trump admin attempts to destroy vital research, @uam-umd.bsky.social is fighting back & winning...& they're not done yet. As they celebrate this win, they're pushing for greater transparency, support for faculty & an academic freedom fund.
Faculty, join your union!
Faculty, join your union!
We @uam-umd.bsky.social won. Faculty packed town halls, talked to their colleagues and collected hundreds of petition signatures. Now UMD is coughing up $8.75m, during a deficit, to fund faculty whose research is under attack. Not enough, but a helluva thing for a union the state calls illegal.

“It will not succeed in cowing faculty and academic workers, in sowing division, or in keeping us from supporting our neighbors in need,” the professors said in the statement. “We will continue to fight for the colleges, universities, and communities we deserve.” — @ncaaup.bsky.social
