Last Friday, we delivered a petition to UConn admin signed by graduate workers in virtually all departments calling for transparency in bargaining. In a time when higher education is under attack, it is time for UConn to commit to transparency and open communication with the public.

These cuts will shut down promising medical breakthroughs, slam the brakes on clinical trials, destroy jobs, and gut university research programs where thousands of UAW members across the country work every day to advance life-saving discoveries.

The Trump administration’s decision to slash NIH funding is a gut punch to scientific progress, economic growth, and the fight against deadly diseases. Cutting research on cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s isn’t "efficient”—it’s economically reckless and inhumane.
