Dear Colleague,

We recognize the significant stress and uncertainty our international colleagues are facing due to recent changes and ambiguities surrounding H-1B visas. Standing in solidarity with you, the Faculty Staff Union (FSU) has secured a dedicated meeting for international faculty and allies to meet directly with provost Joe Berger. This is a critical opportunity for our community to come together, voice our collective concerns directly to the administration, and push for the clarity and support you deserve.

This week’s edition was prepared by The Point committee.  As always, The Point represents the views of the author(s) and is not the official position of the FSU.

Over the past several years the campus unions representing faculty and staff (CSU, FSU, and PSU) have all pushed for and achieved some form of “expanded bargaining” – whereby rank and file union members (who are not part of the core bargaining team) are permitted to observe bargaining sessions between their union and the Administration as “silent bargaining reps.”
