Dear AAUP Activists:

The AAUP Chapter/Faculty Union at the San Francisco Art Institute
needs your immediate help and publicity.

Nine tenured faculty have been given lay off notices in willful
violation of their tenure.  There have been many egregious contract
violations by the SFAI administration under the cloak of financial
exigency.

Please read the background information here: http://sfaistudentaction.pbwki.com

and sign the petition here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sfaivotes/

Please circulate this request among your colleagues at other colleges
and institutions.

Your comments and institutional  affiliations are especially helpful
on the petition.

help us save our hard-won tenure and academic freedom!

In solidarity,

FUSFAI Officers
