PSU-YDSA stands in solidarity with our adjunct faculty, and calls upon all other students at Portland State to take action in their fight for a fair contract and academic freedom. If you're a student at PSU, there are a couple of actions that you can take. (5/7)

This is no surprise. PSU's board of trustees are made up of people from the same class that brought Trump to power, weapons manufacturers and other types of capitalists. As a result, adjunct faculty have had to fight for every right they acquire, and they don't stand alone. (4/7)

PSU initially refused outright to bargain with the adjunct faculty over academic freedom, then later submitted proposals that would make academic freedom unenforceable. In practice they acted in lockstep with the Trump administration in their fight against democratic rights. (3/7)

On May 2nd, PSUFA entered into a bargaining session with the Portland State University administration, seeing the recent crackdowns on democratic rights and the weakness of their previous contract, they rightfully sought to strengthen their academic freedom article. (2/7)

Today we are re-stating our call for students to stand up to the PSU administration and fight for academic freedom in solidarity with PSUFA. (1/?)

It appears there’s always money for war and genocide, but none for healthcare or environmental stability. This is no mistake, but intentional. Our capitalists want to protect their interests at the expense of the well-being of workers both at home and abroad. (1/2)

Tell Governor Kotek: Appoint Dr. Mary King to the Portland State Board of Trustees

In appointing King, we could have a board of trustees that will champion state lawmakers investing in PSU and thereby set us up well for when we go back to the bargaining table.

If you're a student at PSU, and you want an academic space where you're safe from the repression of the Trump and University administration, then please sign the petition to have the administration accept PSUFA's demands, and please consider joining YDSA. (3/3)

We find this completely unacceptable, especially because it is happening at the same time that the Trump administration and its collaborators in other universities have been cracking down on Palestine solidarity. In response, PSU-YDSA has launched a petition to guarantee academic freedom. (2/3)

On May 2nd, PSUFA attempted to bargain for basic protections, such as the ability to express political opinions, discuss controversial topics when related to the class, and deny the use of AI in the creation of class material. The administration refused to even discuss it. (1/3)
