Dear Faculty and Librarians,

We need your support to stop the weakening of higher education, including diminishing the value of libraries and librarians. 

The December 8th Nuts & Bolts provided information on two proposals that will weaken Massachusetts’ public higher education by reducing accreditation standards and the number of credits required for a bachelor’s degree.

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

I got a week to go, I got a week to go, I said until then, It's just a dream my friend, I still got a week to go (Week to Go by Taulia Lave). 

As the semester winds down, we wish you a pleasant last week of classes and remember to take some time for yourself before heading into final exam week and assignment grading.

Dear FSU Members,

The application deadline for proposals to support anti-racism initiatives is TODAY, Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 4:00PM EST. This academic year’s funding pool is $50,000.  

Proposal Guidelines

We encourage faculty and librarians to think about anti-racism initiatives in broad and innovative ways. The goal of anti-racism is to actively challenge and change policies, behaviors, and beliefs that perpetuate racism.
