Faculty should have a seat at the table when decisions are made about their universities, to make sure the schools continue to serve students and communities and create opportunities for all. @AFTWisconsin @AAUP urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/03/1…

The number of media requests and comments we have received this past week is higher than any other time, higher than our Act 10 challenge or paid leave campaign.
The public wants to know the status on the ground. Where do they go to learn that? The union.
