Dear FSU Member, 

A reminder that we are holding a Fall semester general assembly meeting TOMORROW Wednesday, October 7^th 4PM -5PM EDT. Contact the FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom info.

Each Spring the FSU is required to hold an annual meeting where the primary activity is to adopt a budget.  Our bylaws allow for us to hold additional membership meetings beyond the annual meeting and these are called general assembly meetings.

In which we consider the matter of why UMB’s administration would choose to propose new contract language on “academic freedom” and what questions this raises about cultures of surveillance. 

The examination combines the techniques of an observing hierarchy and those of a normalizing judgement.
