UC-AFT ENDORSES BERNIE SANDERS
The UC-AFT council voted unanimously to endorse Bernie Sanders for president. Although our national organization has endorsed Hillary Clinton, we feel that Sanders’ position on free public higher education, Wall Street reform, universal healthcare, unions, campaign finance, and climate change represent a rare chance to push for a truly progressive agenda.
Sanders’ is the only candidate who has tied the rising cost of higher education and student debt to Wall Street. His plan pushes to increase the number of full-time faculty, reduce administrative costs, and increase spending on instruction. Many of his ideas on universities coincide with my book Why Public Higher Education Should be Free.
