PSU Board of Trustees appointment Monday

We have until Monday. That’s when Governor Kotek will make an appointment to the PSU Board of Trustees who will shape our working conditions until 2029. Will we gather enough letters from coworkers, students, and community allies to Governor Kotek to win the appointment of economist and former PSU-AAUP President Mary King who will champion deep investment in our working conditions and student learning conditions? Or will we fall short and see real estate developer Sheryl Manning reappointed who has pushed painful cuts that violate our contract?

Send a letter and text the link to your department, friends, and family here. You can edit the form letter to speak to your conditions and what’s at stake for your department in this appointment, faculty senate’s 47-7 no-confidence vote in the administration’s financial plan, and the need for additional voices inside the Board of Trustees to advocate for working and learning conditions.

A template to recruit students to email Kotek is here.
