So many powerful conversations with students and parents about the impacts to learning conditions from President Cudd’s $35 million in cuts during our move-in day informational picket today!

Here is some information on Strategic Resistance as well as some happenings next week from our friends at PSU Queer Resource Center. Feel free to share with students!

After 170+ hours of bargaining since June 2024 -including 70 hours of mediation- 1,172 PSU-AAUP represented workers have filed for impasse starting a 37-day strike timeline. This comes after the layoffs of 12 IELP faculty, 17 NTTF faculty, and over $1B in construction since 2010

Sign & share: @portlandstate.bsky.social's Philosophy Dept urges "university leadership to reverse the termination of three key faculty members [...] This decision threatens the department’s long-term viability, the diversity of its curriculum" More here: www.change.org/p/reverse-th...

Our strike fund just crossed $28,000!
We can declare impasse as soon as the end of this week.

The bigger our strike fund, the more members can hold out to win the conditions faculty, staff, and students deserve if the Cudd administration forces a strike
