This year, FAs successfully defended trans care, HIV research, and community health programs at the UC from feds' illegal attacks. Yet, political interference in higher ed continues, shuttering programs and censoring what we teach. As we celebrate Pride, we must remember that the fight continues.

The text Happy Pride! and "Defend Queer Studies, Gender-affirming care, lgbtqia+ history, trans rights, anti-discrimination law, gender studies, hiv research, community health programs" is on the left. On the right is a rainbow image with the acronyms of the ten faculty associations. On the bottom left are the words "Fight for the Future of Higher Ed" and the logos of the Council of UC Faculty Associations and the AAUP.

Another new interim policy that will go into effect Fall 2025: Faculty may be disciplined for extramural speech when the “university’s interests” outweigh the “employee’s expressive interests.” We must resist these blatant attempts to criminalize and chill faculty free speech!

The Gov says his May revise reduces the 8.95% cut to UC to a 3% cut, still plans to defer the compact funding 1 year (a $240 million cut to UC in 2025-26). UC's May funding should be up 5.95% relative to January's proposal, but somehow it shows a $16 million cut: ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2025-...

3) UC’s continued decrease in its share of contributions to medical plans (UC paid 87.0% of employee health plan costs in 2022, which still put UC 7% below market in terms of health and welfare benefits, but paid just 80.6% in 2025, see docs.google.com/spreadsheets...).
