In these times of accelerated and heightened threats to safety, security, and academic freedom, the IFO offers solidarity and support to those targeted and affected. The IFO stands with unions across the country in opposition to the federal administration’s mandates, most of which are illegal and unconstitutional. We support robust legal challenges to those mandates. The IFO remains committed to protecting and supporting civil rights, social justice, and academic freedom.
Your union is here to support you. We have developed a list of resources for faculty at www.ifo.org/resources. If you need further assistance or have helpful resources to share, please contact advocacy@ifo.org, and an IFO staff member will contact you. If you are experiencing challenges to your health and well-being, we encourage you to access the benefits of the State's employee well-being program:
Being part of a union means that you are not alone. Please reach out to your colleagues to offer support or to ask for help. These are stressful and uncertain times, but we will weather these storms together.
