What is a $26bn endowment for if not to protect the most vulnerable workers at the university during a crisis? It is the difference between savings for a rainy day and an immoral hoarding of wealth.

Harvard Police are suppressing protests in Boston. UCLA are letting the LAPD use their campus for mass arrests. Universities across the country are enmeshed within the police state. Abolish the police and the neoliberal university along with it.

ICE has abandoned its plans to harass international students and universities this Fall leaving many of us asking "What's the point?"
The point is to create a "hostile environment" for immigrants and make them feel unwelcome and under threat.

Welcoming more faculty voices in solidarity with grad workers’ unionization wave 🔥
OPINION | Professors Ilyana Kuziemko and Paul Frymer argue that although graduate students may not seem like stereotypical union workers, they face unique vulnerabilities that collective bargaining can help address.

Tomorrow, UChicago GSU is hosting a teach-in, with panels on how to organize as a grad union with local community groups and unions. This is the type of necessary solidarity work grad unions must be engaged in.
On Wednesday, GSU members will walk out of our (virtual) workplaces and engage in actions of solidarity, political education, and mutual aid.
