Together we can recruit Governor Kotek to appoint a Board of Trustees that’ll invest in working conditions and learning conditions in our next contract. The Board of Trustees Finance and Administration chair Sheryl Manning has been a strong advocate of draconian budget cuts, which have led to the unnecessary and counterproductive layoffs of 17 of our faculty colleagues. Her current term on the Board ends on June 30th.

Email Governor Kotek and ask her not to reappoint Sheryl Manning to the PSU Board. Instead, appoint someone with a higher education background who will champion our working conditions and students’ learning conditions, not cut PSU to the bone.
