University Caucus Statement of Principles and Goals: We are employees of state universities – serving as instructors, custodians, nurses, administrative employees, food service workers, librarians, electricians, security officers, lab technicians, maintenance employees and countless other positions. We are equally essential to carrying out the important missions of our campuses and institutions. We are united in our efforts to fulfill the Texas constitutional mandate to “maintain universities of the first-class”.
Union Weeks of Action
Higher education is a critical public good. We train, educate, and develop Texans to be active participants in their communities and participate in democracy.
University organizing and mobilizing is at a historic high. We are building our union’s power to fight for a living wage for all campus workers, secure jobs, and fully funded healthcare and retirement.
We are also organizing to fight against the unprecedented right-wing assault on higher education. These attacks include direct attacks on workers like keeping pay low and cutting jobs, as well as on democratic governance like banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and clamping down on freedom of speech.
TSEU has shown that when we organize, we can win. We have to keep organizing! Join us!
