Dear FSU Members,

We want to remind you about a number of important provisions from the COVID-19 Spring 20 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that we signed last April.

Dear FSU Member,

Please spend a few minutes filling out the FSU workload survey. We will close the survey this Friday, March 26^th, so make your voice heard! The more of us that fill out this survey, the more useful information we will have to make our case that your work should be recognized and rewarded.   Your participation is very much appreciated!  

Survey:   (contact FSU or the Committee members for a link to the survey).

Are you worried about saying “the wrong thing” in the classroom? Concerned that your academic freedom may not be guaranteed when it comes to your research findings or social media presence? Why does there seem to be a sudden flurry of high-profile incidents of faculty being singled out and targeted for improper or incendiary speech, whether in the classroom, their research, or their Twitter remarks?

Dear Faculty,

We know we're all busy these days, but please do take a moment to fill out this important survey, which can help us to get to know the full extent of the work you do for UMB, and how our union can best support it.
