UWGB-United represents faculty and academic staff at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. We are a union of educators, advisers, and mentors. Students, their families and communities are our chief concern. We want students to know that we share their desire for a diverse, vibrant, and secure learning community.
The rhetoric and politics in recent months has aroused antipathies towards members of our society, promoted ethnic and racial hatreds, and spread xenophobia. We believe that we are at our best when we embrace difference and build inclusive communities of sympathy and concern. We reject hate, suspicion, and exclusion.
UWGB-United is dedicated to defending human rights, preserving the pursuit of truth through evidence-based scholarship and critical inquiry, and promoting the freedom of all people to pursue their educational aspirations in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. We want to reassure students that their teachers, advisers, and staff respect them and are steadfastly committed to their growth and development.
UWGB-United is the local (6511) of American Federation of Teachers (AFT)-Wisconsin. To learn more about us, please visited http://uwgbunited.blogspot.com/p/about.html.
