When you are a former governor, they let you do it?

Tax credits are confusing. Thanks @heathergoulding.bsky.social for a clear explainer! Losing potential revenue to general fund hurts public employees and takes away from public services. #NVLeg

Thanks to solidarity from @aft.org and @aflcio.org, the #NSHE Board of Regents did NOT change the collective bargaining policy. Faculty negotiating contracts now will continue to do so under the current rules! #WhenWeFightWeWin!
The Nevada Faculty Alliance is grateful to all who showed up to give public comment and to highlight how the policy changes for collective bargaining hamper the process, cause confusion, and take away from education! Solidarity wins the day!
Nevada faculty are grateful for all the solidarity today. Showing up meant the Regents moved up the agenda item. Our collective advocacy meant the Regents postponed changing collective bargaining policy changes and requesting more faculty input in future process on changes!
We had solidarity in Vegas, Reno, and in Elko! Labor in all corners of the state came out in solidarity to say "no" to changing the rules for collective bargaining in the middle of faculty contract negotiations! And the Regents backed down and postponed any changes! @higheredlabor.bsky.social
Tomorrow is the day! We're ready to show up to support #HigherEd collective bargaining for faculty at #NSHE. Join us as we gather before public comment at 9 am at the Board of Regents meeting!
Four #NSHE institutions are in the middle of collective bargaining negotiations. This Friday, the Board of Regents looks to change the policy: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...
Time to email your #NSHE Regent or submit public comment:

Tell Regents to "say no" to changing collective bargaining policy in the middle of negotiations!
"As for faculty, more than a third of provosts reported higher-than-usual turnover last year, in a survey by Hanover Research and the industry publication Inside Higher Ed."
Attacks on #HigherEd come from the federal government, but also governing boards. #CollectiveBargaining now!

Lombardo's $2 increase to education funding is a de facto education cut. Meanwhile, his buddy trump makes back-to-school supplies more expensive for students, families, and educators.
But we have meat harvesting and very special sheep with very special wool...
The Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social is getting ready for Fall semester and for negotiating contracts at TMCC, WNC, CSN, and now NSU!
Had an absolutely great time the past few days talking politics and civility with smart folks from around the world. Very energized to continue the work. Join us! i2s-research.ku.edu/civility-and...
Public employees deserve the right to collectively bargain! Glad to see Utah fighting back. Nevada Faculty Alliance @nvfa.bsky.social hopes to see Nevada expand collective bargaining to #HigherEd faculty next session (we'll keep trying until we get rights!)

Nevada Regent Goodman asks whether #NSHE is sensitive to student athletes who she evidently believes are transphobic. @unevadareno.bsky.social student leader answers in public comment. #NvLeg #SpeakingTruthToPower

And Regents did vote to suspend faculty performance pay for FY2026 and FY2027. With no merit steps, no COLAs, the expiration of retention bonuses, and higher employee retirement contributions, faculty pay decreases on July 1, 2025. There is no suspension of inflation in cost of living! #NSHE #NvLeg
