It’s insane that a major university like UConn in 2025 still doesn’t offer paid family leave. But the fact that grad students and admins have it but faculty don’t is a testament to just how spectacularly inept the UConn chapter of AAUP union is.

If Democrats had 10% of the media savvy that GOP/Rufo have, they would start blaming every government mishap on "President Elon Musk's DOGE." Tax refund late? Thank President Musk Student loan application delayed? Musk Potholes on the highway? Musk Flight delayed? Yup, Musk's DOGE
