The U of California Council of Faculty Associations has launched an "SOS" coalition -- when SOS stands for Save our System! Support our Students! Save our Science! and Support our State! One purpose is to organize the response from faculty to attacks from the Trump admin. Well-done.

"The UC SOS Coalition stands against any agreement with the federal government that will have adverse consequences for employment, healthcare access, the diversity of our community members, student speech, and academic freedom at the UC. We propose a path for Californian independence from federal overreach, including (1) the release of emergency funds to stem the losses researchers and workers at UC are currently facing and (2) the creation of a new, long term funding solution for higher education in California."
