In 2005, when the ratio of students to tenure-track faculty was 25.5 to 1, the UC promised to not let it go further. Today, the ratio is 29.6:1. ucfaculty.org/hire-more-fa...

And as UCFA, we’ve launched a systemwide campaign to reinvest in the UC’s mission — a campaign led by the issues felt across our ten campuses.

In the last few years, faculty have united across campuses through their faculty associations to win monumental change systemwide. We thought it was only right that our name reflect this growing collective power.

This is an issue @cucfa.org will be taking up this year. Our student:faculty ratio just grows higher and higher—much higher than comparable institutions. Meanwhile we’re buying campuses and hiring more and more administrators. www.sacbee.com/news/local/e...
UC is hitting its enrollment targets. But permanent faculty hiring lags
Faculty say the University of California’s reputation for academic excellence and its contribution to new ideas and innovations is at stake.

Perhaps if, as senior administrators allege, early childcare is simply just “too expensive” for UCLA to offer, we can just bargain for and win two years of paid parental leave for all employees in the contract which will inevitably win. Especially with this crowd in power.

The UCLA Faculty Senate Legislative reps forced an emergency meeting, through procedural means, of that body after the unprecedented chancellorial decree ending early childcare on our campus without consultation with any campus parents or others. This is in the wake of a child SA scandal.

This year, FAs successfully defended trans care, HIV research, and community health programs at the UC from feds' illegal attacks. Yet, political interference in higher ed continues, shuttering programs and censoring what we teach. As we celebrate Pride, we must remember that the fight continues.
