“Here come the red shirts again!” – FUSA gains traction with the BOT

On March 22, FUSA members clad in their red shirts again descended on the monthly HCC Board of Trustees meeting to advocate for faculty. The persistent pressure we have kept on the Administration, Dr. Atwater, and the Board is starting to pay off.

Please see your work email for a FUSA Flash update in which FUSA President Sherry Sippel comments on the meeting. In short, after another strong showing of FUSA red shirts and statements to the Board, Chairperson Nancy Watkins addressed faculty concerns and the Vote of No Confidence by urging Dr. Atwater to convene a workshop aimed at finding a resolution before the end of the fiscal year.

There is more work to do but this is a clear sign of progress! FUSA will keep you up-to-date on any developments as they happen. Feel free to reach out to your campus reps or FUSA leadership with any questions. Below you will find all four compilations of Faculty BOT meeting statements:
