APSCUF is thankful for this statement of support adopted at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania division of American Association of University Professors:

Whereas the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education plays a vital role in the higher education system in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;

Whereas the administration of Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education has created a fictive fiscal crisis to justify cuts in their core educational mission;

Therefore, be it resolved that the PA AAUP expresses solidarity with faculty at Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and their representatives, APSCUF, in their fight for quality education in Pennsylvania.

Student journalists may ask questions directly to Dr. Kenneth M. Mash, president of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, during a press conference especially for them 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, on Facebook Live. Mash will answer questions about contract negotiations and the possible job action.

Student reporters will have top priority. Student journalists who submit questions via Facebook Live should begin by stating their publication/station/channel and university; this way, we know to take these questions first. Alternately, student journalists may submit questions in advance to and we’ll be sure to address those questions while we’re live.

Once we’ve taken all student journalists’ questions, we’ll open the floor to students in general.

See you tomorrow evening!
