The grind & grift: (Starbucks) paid our CEO $98 million for the first four months of his employment with this company. They spent $81 million for a four-day manager's retreat in Vegas (in) June. It would cost less ... to finalize a multi-year union contract ... less than a single day's profit."

The top sign is red - it simply reads, in white text, "LABOR & ECONOMIC JUSTICE". The bottom sign is white. Red and black text reads "YES! We Have A UNION!" Next to the word union is a black QR code. Under the black barcode is text that reads "linktr.ee/UCWArizona". The QR code takes you to the same link.

ID: A screenshot of parts of a communication posted on the Arizona Department of Education website. At the top, text reads "the University of Arizona and Arizona State University are in talks about implementing the agreement." Below, prominently centered, a paragraph of text reads "Horne stated, βSince I took on the Tucson Unified district in 2008 to end the racially divisive βEthnic Studiesβ program, I have been fighting against racial entitlements. People should be judged on their character and merit, not the color of their skin. The Trump administrationβs federal compact for universities shares that same goal, and I am pleased that universities, including the University of Arizona and Arizona State University, are in discussions with the President on enshrining those principles in their schools. Reports that the U of A has rejected this compact are untrue.β" The last sentence is underlined with yellow. A new paragraph begins with text that gets cut off.
Now, Horne aims to do the exact same thing at OUR universities.
If you want to know what ABOR and the Trump admin are planning for us, do not read their "statement of principles." Rather, you should look at their actions, which go against every single one of those principles.

ID: A screenshot of parts of a communication on the Arizona Department of Education website. At the top, bolded text reads "Horne: Federal university compact in line with merit-based philosophy". Below, gray text reads "Tue Oct 21 2025". Below, large text reads "UA and ASU in talks". Below, normal text reads, "PHOENIX - State schools chief Tom Horne, who is also a member of the Arizona Board of Regents, says the Trump administrationβs Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education is aligned with his philosophy of fighting against racial entitlements, and he is pleased that the University of Arizona and Arizona State University are in talks about implementing the agreement."
Tom Horne, an ABOR member, confirmed that the compact wasn't rejected. Horne once helped pass a law that banned ethnic studies - a federal judge determined Horne's legislation illegal and "motivated by a desire to advance a political agenda by capitalizing on race-based fears."

It has been falsely reported that the U of A "rejected" Trump's compact for higher education.
UA President Garimella made clear that he merely rejected the first draft. He continues to negotiate behind our backs with the Trump administration on the basis of shared "principles."

News outlets across the state have reported on Garimella's "rejection" of the compact. Reading his statement, it is clear that Garimella has not rejected the compact - he is continuing negotiations with the Presidential administration.
