I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

“We know that if you want to show solidarity, there is only one way to do it: you got to do it with your feet. You’ve got to walk on the picket line with your colleagues.” —Zach Samalin, New York University AAUP AAUP stands with Contract Faculty United - UAW on strike at NYU!

Non-tenure-track contract faculty at NYU went on strike this morning after over a year of bargaining (capped by a 24-hour+ marathon session). Big crowd of @uaw.org members and supporters, incl lots of students. They’re picketing over pay, workload, AI, a voice in faculty governance, & more.
