Higher Education Labor United will present its winter summit online from Feb. 23-27.

The summit will focus on three core tasks. One is coordinating the surge of higher education worker organizing across the country. Another is developing federal policy proposals to reverse trends that have damaged higher education in recent decades. And the third will be engaging in the political process by educating politicians and candidates on these issues and working to support those who will advance a program of democratizing higher education.

“In order to build the power necessary to fight back against a neoliberal, corporate university, we need to organize ourselves across all higher ed workers, from dining staff and full-time faculty to health care workers, professional staff, adjunct faculty and grad workers,” said Todd Wolfson, Rutgers AAUP-AFT’s general vice president. “And we need to do this at the local, state and national level. This is the path toward transforming public higher education.”
