The faculty of neighboring Wright State University (WSU) have gone on strike as a result of many poor conditions being imposed on both the WSU faculty and students, including overbearing class loads, increasing class sizes that are already too large, and more. The strike was democratically initiated by 85% of union voters. The WSU Branch of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) press release can be found here. More information about the strike can be found here.
It is vital that the action is shown as much support as possible in order for it to be successful; therefore the Community Council encourages the community to participate in the picket lines and to post your support on social media with the hashtag #Fighting4Wright. Anyone interested in carpooling to the picket line can contact Ben Timmester (btimmester@antiochcollege.edu).
In Solidarity,
