Utah Higher Ed in Action
AFT Local 4877 at UVU organized the postcard campaign to remind our lawmakers to stand strong for Utah colleges and universities in their budget discussions. Tables were set up where students stopped to write messages. Studentbody officers directed classmates to the postcard stations. Faculty took bundles of cards to classes for their students and colleagues to write. AFT took care of the mailing.
Later, students from Utah Valley U. joined those from Utah State University and other campuses for a huge rally at the State Capitol. A busload from Snow College arrived at the invitation of USU that also included Salt Lake Community College, the College of Eastern Utah, and Dixie University. Hundreds of postcards. Hundreds of voices rallying on the Hill. What's next? As we watch the direction of funding decisions, AFT locals and Utah higher ed are getting more postcards and pens ready!
