Portland State University AAUP won their arbitration regarding the layoffs of 10 non-tenure track faculty!✊

An arbitrator ruled the university bypassed shared governance protocols required by the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The Citizens United decision unleashed a tsunami of dark money into our elections, allowing special interests to drown out the voices of Americans. We must pass my DISCLOSE Act to restore transparency and accountability to our democracy.
