If colleges and universities are to truly serve the public good, they should not be made answerable to the political program of a particular administration. UCFA & its associated campus chapters urge the UC to reject Compact 2.0. cucfa.org/statement-on...

Faculty call on UC leaders to reject Trump administration's higher education compact. We’re joining AAUP and AFT in calling for higher education administrations and governing boards to reject Compact 2.0. The compact asks universities to align themselves with a far-right agenda and agreeing to it would betray UC’s education and research mission and would compromise faculty’s ability to serve California.

Thanks to the advocacy of hundreds of faculty who joined the fight through their Faculty Associations, the $7.5B California Research Fund (SB 895) is now headed to the 2028 ballot where this funding decision will be in the hands of California voters. cucfa.org/ca-research-...

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.

We fight back!

The Regents now have to decide if they will surrender to the Trump administration’s demands. As workers who have fought for academic freedom, equity in the workplace, and economic justice, we urge the Regents to refuse any compromise that undermines our values and puts workers at risk... instead of continuing the historical trajectory of declining per-student funding, it is time for the state of California to stand its ground, for Newsom to double down on his fight against Trump’s regime, and for the legislature to increase funding to the UC to support the vital role it plays in millions of Californian lives and livelihoods.

Coalition of UC unions condemns Trump’s attacks on the UC and the California economy. @ucaft.bsky.social @afscme3299.bsky.social @uaw4811.bsky.social @aaup.org #HigherEd #AcademicFreedom #UnniversityofCalifornia #HoldTheLine #Trump #HandsOffHigherEd #StandUpUC

On Friday August 8, the Trump administration demanded a $1 billion “settlement” from UCLA after freezing $584 million in federal grants for vital scientific and health research. The proposed $1 billion agreement would be the largest settlement since Trump began extorting universities, and marks the first attempt of the federal government to ransom payment from a public university. These attacks have been waged under the guise of fighting antisemitism and investigating alleged Title VII violations, but we see them for what they are: an attempt to cripple public higher education in the nation’s premier public university system.
