The closure of Archaeology: an open wound for the University and the city
In 2021, the University announced the closure of the Department of Archaeology. Learn more about how this decision has damaged the Universityโs reputation, and impacted its staff and students.
As Uni management continues to disrupt our work, important to remember the background. Part of UCU series State of the Uni 24-5, here's a summary of the vandalistic act that led to the closure of the Archaeo Dept at Sheff Uni. Share! @sheffielducu.bsky.social ucu.group.shef.ac.uk/campaigns/st...

Photo of a brown table with black chairs in the background. The table is in front of a window. On the table are a number of small dark brown and gold pins with the FGLIF logo. Two sheets are propped up on the table. One includes the brown and gold FGLIF logo and the other is a QR code with the FGLIF logo at the centre. A stack of half-sheet flyers reading "Join the First-Generation Low-Income Federation" is also on the table in the foreground. Finally, there is also a small artificial potted plant on the table, in the middle of the two propped up sheets and behind the stack of flyers.
Hey AncientBlueSky - are you at CAMWS? We are too. Stop by our table to say hi, learn more about FGLIF, and pick up a pin or a flyer for yourself, your colleagues, or your students!

There are several groups that do outreach that bridge the two groups while being based on one side: WCC, FGLIF, SAIG, Sportula, Mountaintop Coalition, to name a few of the many minority groups. This would require the splitting of already veryyyy limited resources for representation at 2 meetings.

URGENT: Oppose an Amendment to Eliminate Funding for the NEH
I just took action to oppose the elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities! Join me and take action here.
The House is gearing up with a new bill to completely eradicate the NEH budget for FY 2024. Dang it! The National Humanities Alliance has created a form to make it easy to email your congressional rep to stop this bill before it comes to the floor: p2a.co/yqrC42g
