“No UAW funds shall be invested in Israel bonds.”

That’s the new language UAW delegates voted into the union’s constitution (Article 7, Section 2) at the 39th Constitutional Convention in Detroit.

ACT-UAW Local 7902 brought the amendment, adapting language from the Unite All Workers for Democracy (UAWD) caucus, with Locals 869, 1115, 2320, and 2325 submitting similar divestment proposals. It passed with strong support from delegates across diverse sectors and regions. A major step toward total divestment.

Solidarity is not selective.

The New School Community will not sit by calmly as
is dismantled and our colleagues quietly disappear. We call on the New School Board of Trustees to:

➡️ SUSPEND “realignment” measures including department/program closures + mergers

➡️ ADHERE to principles of shared governance

➡️ RESCIND all “voluntary separation package agreements”

➡️ REINSTATE Part-Time Faculty whose courses have been canceled due to restructuring

➡️ CAP salaries over $200,000

➡️ DISCLOSE all financial documents to The New School community that relate to restructuring

➡️ HOLD a public meeting with the entire university community

➡️ BARGAIN with your student, staff, and faculty unions, as well as with non-unionized employees, over appropriate remedies for the effects of leadership’s financial mismanagement.

“None of these changes serve the needs of any part of our community, but instead harm students and place Management’s financial burden on vulnerable members of the university’s workforce.”
