"Mary is a whistleblower!" - @timgibson, VP of @AAUPMason, calls for George Mason University to reinstate Mary Donn Liles. After 5 years of service in GMU SoA, Mary experienced a retaliatory termination for reporting her supervisor's violation of cyber-security practices. #cw4d

"I'm excited President Ryan is going to meet with us because it gives me hope that UVa is finally taking this issue seriously. Missing paychecks and incorrect pay is not a one-time mistake, but something that has happened to me every one of the five years ...

We are tremendously proud to have endorsed & participated in the Lily Franklin campaign. Lily represents everything positive about public service - willing to listen & willing to fight. The future is brighter in HD41 and beyond because of this campaign. #CampusWorkers4Democracy
This tweet is limited to 180 characters - 3 shy of the # of votes I lost by. I can’t thank folks enough for all the support our campaign received in the last year. (More to come on that later!) One thing is for sure: HD-41 refused to be overlooked. We’ll keep fighting in SWVA

You can bank on it that nobody will be a stronger advocate for Southwest VA than @LilyForDelegate! Help keep her first TV ad on the air by contributing here! secure.actblue.com/donate/li…
🧵 (1/3) Our first TV ad is LIVE! "Bank On It" is my story of graduating college with $5 in my bank account and $20 in my piggy bank. That $20 covered the gas to get me to my first job and paycheck. I'm running for Delegate because $20 shouldn't make or break anyone.

The Dean of Focused Inquiry has resigned ahead of our vote of no confidence. The faculty she tried to fire are still here, fighting for their jobs and our students' futures. If anyone ever tells you that some new measure in your workplace is "a done deal", don't believe them.
"Austerity measures treat our classrooms as markets where students must compete, and those who succeed do so at the expense of others. Our classrooms cannot be governed by the principles that govern Wall Street." #StopFiringFaculty ucw-vcu.medium.com/vcu-facul…
