A proposed Board of Regents policy, to be voted on without public comment(!), would
"bend Iowa’s public universities and their curricula to an agenda that undermines critical inquiry, free speech, and student choice."
Thank you, @unitedfacuni ✊🏾✊🏾
If you're in Iowa City, this is a summer event you don't want to miss!

The UE General Executive Board (GEB) met for two days in Pittsburgh this week. The union’s highest decision-making body in between conventions, the GEB is made up of eight elected rank-and-file members from each geographical region, along with the three national officers. (1/4)

#UnionStrong 🗺 the struggle of #workers and students has no borders
Good News!
A temporary restraining order against the Feds, on behalf of some of the UI international students, has been granted!
The courts continue to recognize in these cases that the Feds can't operate with reckless disregard for the law
All you fascists bound to lose

Sorry
"Bring Back Jim Crow or else!"
Isn't a compelling threat
Trump is an idiot, states should behave accordingly
Are the rumors true?
Is there another COGS-a-palooza in the works?
Maybe more will be revealed at tonight's GMM...
6p at the COGS office.

Thank you to the 300 people who showed up to yesterday's teach-in standing in solidarity with academic freedom and international students & scholars.
When institutions are complicit in terrorizing students and scholars, we have one another's backs.
