Support the University of California Faculty Walkout
UC Faculty Walkout - September 24
In solidarity with students and staff
In defense of public education in California
Under the cover of the summer months, UC administration has pushed through a program of tuition hikes, enrollment cuts, layoffs, furloughs, and increased class sizes that harms students and jeopardizes the livelihoods of the most vulnerable university employees. These decisions fundamentally compromise the mission of the University of California. They are complicit with the privatization of public education, and they have been made in a manner that flouts the principle of shared governance at the core of the UC faculty's capacity to guide the future of the University in accordance with its mission. On September 24, in solidarity with UC staff and students, faculty throughout the University of California system will walk out in defense of public education.
- The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has endorsed the walkout
- UPTE, representing 12,000 University Professional and Technical Employees, will strike
and picket on 9/24 in solidarity with faculty
- UCB Solidarity Alliance has called for a "Walk-Out and Teach-In" on 9/24, calling for all
members of the university to honor picket lines
- Saving UCLA has called for a "Day of Action" on 9/24 to protest the implementation of
unjustified cuts to the UC system
- Graduate Student Organizing Committee at UCB has made a systemwide call for all
UC GSIs to honor picket lines on 9/24
We ask all faculty who support this collective action to sign their names using the form at the top of this page:
