Spending on administration is up 38% since 2013. MSCF faculty? Only 5%. This isn’t a funding issue—it’s a priorities issue. Invest in the people who teach Minnesota’s workforce. #FundFaculty

Minnesota State has already spent $300 million with millions still to come for the Workday system.
The result? Missed paychecks, benefit disruption, confusion, and added burdens on the people educating Minnesota’s future workforce.

Our colleges train Minnesota’s future workforce and fuel the state’s economy. Strong faculty = strong communities. A fair contract isn’t unreasonable—it’s essential.

Anxiety over immigration enforcement on college campuses has grown following a flurry of incidents across the nation. A Trump administration order rescinded a decade-old policy protecting colleges from ICE raids. While some colleges are complying, others are pushing back. chroni.cl/4gqbmHH

Most institutions already have protocols in place to respond to law enforcement. For some faculty and students, campus guidelines aren’t going far enough.
