Insane stance for the UC to take. Faculty, workers, and students are the ones protecting our academic communities. And we deserve to know what the adminstration is negotiating with Trump behind closed doors. www.latimes.com/california/s... @uc-faculty.bsky.social @ucaft.bsky.social

The Gov says his May revise reduces the 8.95% cut to UC to a 3% cut, still plans to defer the compact funding 1 year (a $240 million cut to UC in 2025-26). UC's May funding should be up 5.95% relative to January's proposal, but somehow it shows a $16 million cut: ebudget.ca.gov/budget/2025-...

We recognize the importance of securing data, but UCOP has completely bungled President Drake's cybersecurity mandate, leaving many important faculty questions unanswered. We must now call on UC to postpone this mandate. Faculty can join us in making this call at: sites.google.com/view/delay-m...

This morning, FACULTY UNIONS led by @aaup.bsky.social sued the Trump administration over the unlawful funding cuts at Columbia. We will not let the federal government use coercion to rob us of academic freedom and critical research!

So proud of my union!

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.
I had two grant proposals up for review in the NIH Bacterial Virulence (BV) study section. It was canceled without notice this morning.
Without those grants, my lab must close within a year.
And so the purge of scientific research in the US continues
