2. The Modified Duties Policy is exactly the problem we need corrected. Family leave should not be dependent on a department head or dean’s APPROVAL. Even well meaning dept heads are facing pressure from many sources. Family leave should be automatic. This is the ONLY EQUITABLE solution.

Shame on UConn!! #nutmegsky #academicsky
UConn professors are guaranteed ZERO WEEKS of PAID FAMILY LEAVE (meaning maternity, paternity & adoptive child leave).
Over 6 months ago, the union gave UConn their proposal that professors should get 16 weeks paid family leave.
There has been literally no response to date from UConn.

It’s a great day to WIN academic freedom as a contractual right. Let’s do this 🚨💪🏻 @uconnaaup.bsky.social #unionstrong #nutmegsky

It’s a complicated story, so I wanted to break down what we found and why it’s important. 🧵 www.ctinsider.com/news/article... #nutmegsky

Never forget that Senator Murphy spent the last year of the Biden administration campaigning for an immigration reform bill that would have given billions to DHS to expand their enforcement & detention abilities. He is part of the problem, not the solution.

It's clear Lamont wants a 3rd term, less so what he would do
Gov. Ned Lamont has intended to contrast his steady pragmatism with the drama of Trump. To that end, the federal shutdown has been a gift.
