f you’re wondering if WVU faculty are taking this part of the university’s “First Amendment” website as a retaliatory move to intimidate and silence them after the 89% “No Conference” vote - yes, they are. generalcounsel.wvu.edu/the-first-amen… FYI @AAUP
In just half a year WVU admins spent $350,000 on private flights thedaonline.com/news/wvucuts/a…
Today!
Join WVCW members on Dec 7, 6pm at Apothecary for an end-of-semester social. Bring a friend!

BELIEVE
"You must decide if you believe in the future of West Virginia University." Faculty, staff, and students are fighting every day for the future of WVU, what is the administration doing to help us achieve that?
And with faculty leaving and taking grants with them. And while cutting the staff that helps faculty submit grants. And while faculty cannot spend startup funds. And …
Gee claims we will maintain and enhance our standing as an R1 university, but does not explain how we will do that without math or languages
Help us counter Gee's narrative with the truth next week.
Attention Faculty: The DA is accepting letters to the editor from any faculty member who was cut or non-renewed as a result of academic transformation, as well as anyone who willingly resigned during cutbacks. Anyone interested may send their letter to [email protected]
Dr. Di’s guidance and teaching changed my life in so many ways. Her legacy is one of acceptance, love, and exploration. The WVU admin’s is one of destruction and disrespect for academia. Having a hard time capturing just how much she means to me and continues to be a light ❤️
And just like that, my beloved job at my alma mater will officially end on May 9, 2024. The meeting took 11 minutes, 22 seconds. #WVUmistake #academicdecimation
The finalized RIF list from the Provost’s Office has reached my college & unit (Div. of Plant & Soil Sciences). Email notifications were sent out this morning. Though I was not included on the division RIF list, I’m heartbroken for my 9 friends & close colleagues that were.
"We call on Staff Council to work with Classified Staff to create a better communication,accountability,and participation process, and explain why the Staff Council Chair did not stand with faculty and students in voting against the layoffs." #WVUMistake aftacademics.org/wvcw-updates/
Speechless! 😂
Did...did they really just send this to us?

Did...did they really just send this to us?
WVU’s World Languages Dept was eliminated — university plans to keep a handful of faculty to teach Spanish & Chinese courses. @LMDiBartolomeo has been outspoken from the beginning of all this and from my POV has consistently pointed to how it would most of all hurt students.
And just like that, my beloved job at my alma mater will officially end on May 9, 2024. The meeting took 11 minutes, 22 seconds. #WVUmistake #academicdecimation
“Mathematics is essential to the sciences,” Gee said. “English is essential to the humanities. Those are two fundamental beliefs that I have. But saying all that, I don’t believe every aspect of math is essential.” Read the rest of the appeal drama here👇 timeswv.com/news/local_new…
I've said this to multiple people and will now share it on here: If 300 coal miners were losing their jobs in a span of 6 months, we'd be writing about it -- a lot. WVU is a major employer in our state (with a declining population).
While there is a lot of justifiable attention paid to the attacks on the academy, too many are ignoring how fundamental a labor issue the #WVUmistake is. One of the state's largest employers gutting its workforce to impose brutal austerity measures.

Today is Oct 10, 2023. Including today, there are 630 days left on President Gee's contract.
News cycles are short, solidarity is forever. #SaveWVU
News of WVU’s “Academic Transformation” has died down. 43% (9/21) of the faculty in my unit (Div. of Plant & Soil Sciences) are being fired & will learn our fate by 10/13. The idea of losing ≈50% of my colleagues / friends (or 100% if I’m RIFed) by next summer is devastating!
