may rent payments approach and striking grad workers at BU are facing our fourth week without paychecks. BU continues to retaliate against and intimidate strikers, but we won’t back down!
please share our worker hardship fund and consider donating:

public health is important but evacuating colleges assumes 1. students have a safe home to return to 2. students can afford to buy plane tickets/storage units 3. students have access to wifi/computers at home for online classes
COLLEGE DOES NOT SERVE POOR QTPOC

the “i don’t like this piece of media so i have to claim it’s morally evil to justify my unwarranted opinion” crowd has gotta be one of my least favorite parts of the internet
there was a movie this year which came to the conclusion that you’re allowed to treat your family abominably if it’s a result of generational trauma and if you saw that movie and thought “uhhhh fuck that???” YOU’RE the bad guy

a lot of underclassmen showing schedules with 5 classes, & i wanna reassure anyone who sees that & is worried they’re not doing enough. i’m a rising senior & i’ve never considered taking 5 classes. knowing your limits doesn’t mean you belong any less.

our strike has made clear what we’ve known all along: universities like BU are hedge funds that sell diplomas on the side. the living & working conditions in higher ed are increasingly untenable—this is not a fight for a contract, it’s a fight for control of the university
ATTN: BU is now asking undergraduates to grade their assignments THEMSELVES. Whether it’s AI or self-grading,
@bu_tweets
can’t seem to find a way to resolve their lack of graders. Oh wait… they could also just pay us a living wage !

in bargaining with grad workers, BU’s lead negotiator just suggested international workers call the BU police when they have questions about their visas and immigration documents 👍 really great idea, can’t see this going wrong in any way!
