Striking UICUF Faculty,
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculty (APSCUF), which represents over 6,000 faculty and coaches, stands in full support of your efforts to pay professors what they are worth and to improve the quality of your students’ education. The conditions under which faculty work are the conditions under which students learn.
APSCUF faculty and coaches stand in solidarity with your efforts to make sure that the university not repeatedly raise tuition and keep billions in reserves while some members of the faculty only earn $30,000 a year.
APSCUF faculty and coaches understand that the decision to strike is one of the hardest decisions that professionals can make, and we know that this decision was made only because your trustees’ proposals remain inadequate after scores of negotiations sessions.
APSCUF faculty and coaches admire your resolve, and we urge our colleagues across the nation to support your efforts.
Sincerely,
Steve Hicks
APSCUF President
