A podcast from the Ethnic Studies Council at the University of California.
When the UC Regents and administration failed to stand up to the demands of the Trump administration, faculty and workers stepped up to join the fight. In this episode, Zoé Hamstead (Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning, UCB, co-chair of Berkeley Faculty Association, CUCFA Chair of Legal Affairs), Annie McClanahan, (Associate Professor of English, UCI, Co-President of the Council of UC Faculty Associations), and Anna Markowitz (Associate Professor of Education, UCLA, President of the executive board of the UCLA Faculty Association) join The Lower Frequencies to discuss the role of faculty and the faculty associations (in partnership with UC unions, the AAUP, and other organizations) in waging a successful series of legal challenges that forced the Regents to disclose the federal demand letter and won a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration.
