STEP UP FOR OUR FUTURE
PROTECT HIGHER ED FROM FEDERAL ATTACKS!
THE NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AT UCONN
April 17th 12:00 UConn Bookstore next to Gampel & All Regional Campuses!
Let us know you can make it!!
In cutting federal grants and putting student loans in question, in threatening free speech and the curriculum, and in striking fear into the hearts of immigrant and international faculty and students, the Trump administration is taking aim at the future of the university.
Cutting student loans and Pell Grants threatens to put a college education out of reach for anyone but the very rich. Cutting research and outreach funding will halt vital studies and programs that improve the lives of millions while also threatening the careers of current students who aspire to become the scientific leaders of the next generation. Attacks on “DEI” are having a chilling effect on academic freedom, prompting faculty to revise courses and grant proposals out of fear. And since Trump’s inauguration, there have been credible fears of ICE on campus that threaten the very presence of some community members in this country.
We have had enough. On Thursday, April 17th, faculty, staff, and students at UConn are joining colleagues all over the country for a National Day of Action. Join us for a rally at the UConn-Storrs campus from 12-1:30pm (UConn Bookstore on Hillside Rd) organized by the UConn-AAUP. Senator Richard Blumenthal will likely be joining us as a speaker.
Silence is getting us nowhere. Demand that our state legislators shore up public higher education. Stand up for our future!
