UC Faculty Association

And as UCFA, we’ve launched a systemwide campaign to reinvest in the UC’s mission — a campaign led by the issues felt across our ten campuses. UC faculty are you with us? ucfaculty.org/reinvest-in-...

This is an issue @cucfa.org will be taking up this year. Our student:faculty ratio just grows higher and higher—much higher than comparable institutions. Meanwhile we’re buying campuses and hiring more and more administrators. www.sacbee.com/news/local/e...

If colleges and universities are to truly serve the public good, they should not be made answerable to the political program of a particular administration. UCFA & its associated campus chapters urge the UC to reject Compact 2.0. cucfa.org/statement-on...

Class sizes are growing, and Instead of investing in faculty, UC invested in management and administration. Now, faculty are feeling the effects. www.sacbee.com/news/local/e...

Thanks to the advocacy of hundreds of faculty who joined the fight through their Faculty Associations, the $7.5B California Research Fund (SB 895) is now headed to the 2028 ballot where this funding decision will be in the hands of California voters. cucfa.org/ca-research-...

We can build new institutions. This institute will have community appointees on the board helping decide, alongside scientists and academic workers, what science gets prioritized for funding.

HANDS OFF OUR UC! Join us for a rally tomorrow, Sept 16, 2p at UCSF outside the Regents meeting. @uaw4811.bsky.social @calnurses.bsky.social @teamsterslocal2010.bsky.social @uptecwa.bsky.social @aaup.org @ucaftbayarea.bsky.social @afscme3299.bsky.social

We’re calling all our UC colleagues to show up on Tuesday at 2pm at the William J Rutter Center at UCSF (1675 Owens St., SF), where the Regents will be meeting to discuss the Trump "demand letter," for a rally to express our support for academic freedom, public education, and healthcare for all.

Join @uclafa.bsky.social for the Suspended Science Fair on Wednesday, Sept. 10 (tomorrow), 11:30-1:30.

On Tuesday, UCB Chancellor Lyons and others will speak before the Committee on Education and the Workforce Hearing that is part of the MAGA agenda to defund higher education and limit free speech on campuses across the country. Read our full statement here: bit.ly/fa-hcew @psc-cuny.org @aaup.org

“It’s a lot easier to destroy a thing than to build a thing.”

The Gov says his May revise reduces the 8.95% cut to UC to a 3% cut, still plans to defer the compact funding 1 year (a $240 million cut to UC in 2025-26). UC's May funding should be up 5.95% relative to January's proposal, but somehow it shows a $16 million cut: ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2025-...

The annual State Higher Education Finance report came out. Key figure: "Total education revenue at two-year institutions in California was $11,131 per FTE (82% of the U.S. average), while four-year total revenue was at $17,114 per FTE (81% of the U.S. average)." shef.sheeo.org/state-profil...

We recognize the importance of securing data, but UCOP has completely bungled President Drake's cybersecurity mandate, leaving many important faculty questions unanswered. We must now call on UC to postpone this mandate. Faculty can join us in making this call at: sites.google.com/view/delay-m...

This is going to kneecap science in this country for years. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

🚨 "WE ARE THE POWER WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR" @actioninhighered.bsky.social mobilized nationwide. Faculty, students & workers united to end repression & fight for education that serves the people. 📢 More than a protest—a movement. Join us. scholarsforsocialjustice.org

news that dozens of members of our UC community are under threat at the moment has us all anxious, but the solidarity between @ucaft.bsky.social and @uc-faculty.bsky.social today was beautiful. read our demands and see you at Bruin Plaza tomorrow! ucaft.org/news/cucfa-a...

This morning, FACULTY UNIONS led by @aaup.bsky.social sued the Trump administration over the unlawful funding cuts at Columbia. We will not let the federal government use coercion to rob us of academic freedom and critical research! So proud of my union! protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/u...

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.
