University of California: Reject the federal government's political control The federal government is trying to place the University of California under political control. Join with UC Unbowed before the Board of Regents meeting on November 18-20 and tell President James B.…

We invite all UC alumni and supporters to stand together to defend UC’s autonomy and the core value of academic freedom that makes the UC system a jewel of higher education and a beacon to the world.

Sign the UC Unbowed petition: Tell the UC Regents to reject political control: buff.ly/eazjYQ8

The federal government is pressuring UC to accept political control over how it teaches, who it hires, and what ideas are allowed to be heard. It’s an attempt to turn one of the world’s great public universities into a political pawn – and UC alumni and allies are telling the regime NO.

Hello Indivisible Santa Barbara friends and family,

The University of California has always stood for something bigger than any one campus: freedom of thought, fearless inquiry, and service to the public good.

But that independence is now under direct threat.
