WHO DECIDES WHAT WE TEACH? SOCIOLOGY AND THE POLITICS OF CURRICULUM

When: Wed. Feb 18 @ 6:00pmWhere: On Zoom

When a Florida Board of Governors work group produced a censored version of an Introduction to Sociology textbook, the United Faculty of Florida decided to step in to affirm the importance of teaching according to disciplinary expertise.

Join the United Faculty of Florida and former American Sociological Association presidents Ruth Milkman and Aldon Morris for a conversation about what is at stake when the state seeks to dictate academic curriculum. Learn how faculty, students, and community members can organize to fight back!

The registration link for the Webinar is here. (https://floridaea.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_L4fdY0HVRE6nWkYZP0BO_Q#/registration)

Nominations for Officers and Senators

  By
Call for nominations (especially self-nominations) for UFF-FIU Officers and Senators
UFF-FIU annually elects its officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) and about 34 UFF-FIU Senators, who together comprise the Chapter Council. Officers and Senators must be dues-paying members of the UFF-FIU Chapter. The duties of the Chapter officers can be found in the Chapter By-laws on the UFF-FIU website. Many who are new to union activity run for Senator. The role of Senator is a good way to contribute and learn more about the union.
  • The duties of a UFF-FIU Senator are to attend Chapter Council meetings (in-person or virtually; 90-minute meeting about two or three times per semester, except during Summer), serve on a Chapter committee, and (strongly recommended) attend the Statewide UFF Senate (once in Fall on a weekend for two half-days in-person, and once, virtually, in Spring).
  • The term of office for Chapter Officers and Senators is one year, beginning on the first day of Summer term, May 11.
The UFF-FIU Elections Committee solicits nominations (especially self-nominations) for Chapter Officers and (especially) UFF-FIU Senators. Please send your nominations/self-nominations to the UFF-FIU Elections Committee at elections@uff-fiu.org by the deadline of Friday, February 20.
