Higher ed needs a new vision — one that unites students and workers around teaching, learning, and the opportunity working people deserve.
Boards and administrative decisions have made college inaccessible, turning our schools into targets.
It's time for that to change.
Before NYU faculty withheld their labor, they built power: organizing across depts, refusing administration’s narrower bargaining unit, & bringing students into the fight.
When they struck, many students joined the picket line or refused to attend class.

More than 4,000 UAW members at Harvard have been on strike since April 21, demanding pay that keeps up with the cost of living, real recourse for harassment and discrimination, support for non-citizen students and academic freedom protections.

. @BostonGlobe editorial board calls out Trump admin for new higher ed rules, calling threats to financial aid "an overreach."
They want you to think colleges are the enemy.
So they're using real grievances — rising tuition, free speech, academic freedom — as cover to tear the whole system down.
College should be affordable, accessible, and provide the opportunity it promises.

Student debt relief isn't a handout. It's an economic investment in people who already invested in themselves.

When we fought, we won.
Nearly 1,000 non-tenured faculty at NYU walked off the job for two days this spring.
Peter Cole reports that they returned with a strong first contract: minimum $14,000 raises, annual increases and long-term employment guarantees.

College should not be exclusive to the 1%. It shouldn't burden working class families with life-long debt. And it shouldn't force working class families to delay starting their lives.

"I'm now 50, my kids are completely grown, and I can't afford to pay my student loans for a career that never took off. Incidentally, In 2004 I left school with a $44k loan balance and after paying $38k, my balance has somehow ballooned to about $98k." - Anonymous Borrower

Trump claims to fight for working class America, but is making it impossible for these families to attend college.
Education should be accessible to everyone, not just the 1%. This is obvious to all of us workers and students, but clearly not to Trump and his cronies.

Canceling student debt is legal, possible, and more achievable than we think.

Since 1980, the cost of college has risen 169%, while wages have lagged behind — only growing 80%
College was meant to offer social and economic mobility, especially for working class and historically disenfranchised people.

The Trump administration and its allies are rewriting the rules of higher education so that families can't afford the price of college.
They want low-wage workers, indoctrinated students, and no path to a better life.
